Dalandzadgad Holidays
Dalanzadgad, which is situated in southern Mongolia, is a departure point for the Gobi Desert and Yolyn Am. A mix of ugly Soviet-style buildings and traditional yurts, the town stretches across an arid, desert landscape.

What our travellers think of their stay
Dalanzadgad is the capital of the Ömnögovi province, in the south of the Gobi Desert.
My suggestion
Don't bother going to Dalanzadgad unless you're planning to tour the Gobi - the town has nothing spectacular in itself to offer.

My suggestion
Breathe deeply, try to get comfy and stay positive, as the bus ride from Ulan Bator to Dalanzadgad is simply awful! Buses jump all over the road, the drivers prefer breakneck speeds and you'll fly off your seat at regular intervals.
