- AMarcus· July 31st, 2023Bizarrely, one of the highlights of this trip was what went wrong! We had torrential rains, which stopped us from following the original itinerary and nearly scuppered our chances of visiting the Gobi Desert, but with the bus getting stuck, and the efforts of the driver and our tour leader to unstick it, along with the 'adventure' that followed, it was memorable and a proper piece of adventure travel!Show moreTrip date: July 2023Review collected by Explore!
