Mongolia

Mongol Els Dunes are located in North Gobi-Altai, they extend from the province of Zavkhan at East, until the province of Khovd at extreme West. They extend on about 330 kilometres (205 miles) in the basin of the Zavkhan River, going towards its source. From the top, Mongol Els Dunes present a remarkable view on Lake Ereen Nuur, a rather marshy stretch of water near whose it can be dangerous to go.

In the Western dunes, located in the basin of the Zavkhan River, province of the Gobi-Altai, the popular medicine uses sand baths for therapeutic purposes.
