Special trip photos - Tengger Desert Lakes, April 29–May 2, 2011

Near the end of April we made a visit to the Tengger Desert in Inner Mongolia, a 30,000 square kilometer expanse of sand. We traveled for two days through the dunes by foot, jeep, and camel, visiting desert lakes, oases, and the tiny settlements of desert dwellers.

The desert trips are some of our most popular long-distance trips, and it’s easy to see why: we get deep into the desert, with sand as far as the eye can see.

On this visit we didn't get any good photos of the desert lakes. If you'd like to see some of those, take a look at the photos from other trips we've made to the area:
• Tengger Desert Lakes trip August 2011
• Tengger Desert Lakes trip July 2010
• Alashan Desert, May 2010

Getting started on the first day.

Crossing the dunes

Hiking on the second day.

On our last day in the desert, we rode camels to get a little closer to our pickup point.
