Trek through Yolyn Am, a gorge in the Gurvan Saikhan mountains known for its ice field that persists for most of the year. The valley enjoys protection as part of a national park, and also lies within the Gobi desert. Hiking through the narrow gorge, you can admire the dramatic landscape made up of towering cliffs and accentuated by the ice sheets, reaching a depth of several yards depending on the time of year. A variety of wildlife calls the valley home, including eagles, Lammergeier vultures, and the adorable pika. Yolyn Am is just one of the many highlights you can arrange to see using our , custom trip planner Edition.

  • Beautiful area in June 2022. Ice field was partially melted, horse back trek down in canyon was good. The arts and crafts gift area was awesome and thr staff were friendly. Must see location.
  • Very nice place. Unfortunately at the time of public holidays in Korea it was full of noisy tourists. I recommend finding a suitable term.
