Welcome to Gobi Oasis

Gobi Oasis is a small tree-planting nursery project established by Byamba Tseyen in her hometown of Mandalgobi, Dundgobi in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia in 1975. For over 40 years, she has been leading this conservation project by growing small seeds & branches, and nurturing them in harsh conditions, before replanting them in areas in desperate need for defence against desertification. Today, the project forms a small but vital role in the global fight to protect the natural environment which we all share.

Get Involved

Here at Gobi Oasis we love to share our home and our project with visitors. Between May-September is the best time to visit, due to the weather being most ideal for tree planting. From October-April is a little too cold, and so the ground will likely be either frozen, or snow-covered. We work in collaboration with travel companies Goyo Travel and Eternal Landscapes, with whom you can visit us whilst on a fantastic tour of Mongolia. During your time here you will have the comfort of your own, cosy ger, and will be able to put your stamp on the fight against desertification in southern Mongolia.
