Trekking The Gobi Deserts Ice Gorges

Deserts are usually thought of as being hot, dry places, and not usually synonymous with ice and snow. While the Gobi does get fiercely hot during the summer, at winter it is a cold, harsh environment, although amazingly, people do still manage to eke out a living with herds of cashmere goats. Camels, rather than horses, are the beast of burden here, but to live in the Gobi is to realize one of its secrets – much of the desert is linked with underground water channels, and water pools and springs can appear if you know where to look.
