• Khujirt to Boon Tsagaan Nuur - The lake dotted steppe and desert between Khujirt and Boon Tsagaan Nuur, a large lake, support a superb selection of little known birds, not least Relict Gull and Mongolian Accentor
• Bayanzag, near the South Gobi Tourist Camp at Dalanzadgad, is a site famous to fossil-hunters for dinosaur remains, and well-known to birders as the haunt of the endangered Saxaul Sparrow
• The town of Ulgyi in west Mongolia is the best base from which to explore the Kobdo Delta, Har Us Nuur (Black Water Lake), the Zabkhan River, the Turgen Ul Mountains and the lowlands around the Urgen Nuur lake, which supports some very localized and little known birds, including Relict Gull, White-throated BushChat, and Mongolian Ground-Jay.

You will stay in tented camps as you range from bird-rich grasslands to the towering crags of the Gobi Altai.
