Dalanzadgad
Даланзадгад
The capital of South Gobi Province and the gateway to the Gobi loop. It has an airport, gas stations, supermarkets, and banks, making it the last supply stop before the national park.
Dalanzadgad has a population of about 20,000. Domestic flights from Ulaanbaatar take about 1.5 hours, or driving on paved roads takes about 8 to 9 hours. The town has a provincial museum, temples, a market, and a few hotels. Tour groups often stock up on drinking water, snacks, and cash here before heading to Yolyn Am. There are not many sights within the town itself, so half a day is enough. Gas stations are scarce after you leave, so when self-driving, be sure to fill up the tank completely.
