On our second visit to the Tengger Desert this year, we followed a slightly different route, but saw much of the same scenery: desert lakes, oases, and the tiny settlements of desert dwellers.
The Tengger is known as a ‘classic sand desert,’ with 30,000 square kilometers of dunes that shift with the wind. Somewhat surprisingly, it also contains many lakes and oases.

We drove into the desert, and began our trek by heading deeper into the dunes.

We climbed up on to a tall dune to get a view of the desert – sand as far the eye could see.

The ridge of a tall dune was a good spot for a rest.

At one of the lakes, we made a rendevous with our camel team, and continued through the dunes.
