Yolin Am Ice Field, located in the Gobi Desert's Gurvan Saikhan Mountains, offers a unique experience of ice formations persisting well into the summer months. Accessibility can be challenging, often requiring 4x4 vehicles due to the rugged terrain. While solo visits are possible for experienced travelers, guided tours are highly recommended for safety and logistical support. Seasonal restrictions may apply, with the best time to visit being late spring to early autumn to avoid extreme cold. The cost can vary significantly depending on the tour operator and mode of transportation, but expect to budget for park entrance fees, transportation, and accommodation. A typical visit duration ranges from a half-day to a full day, allowing time for hiking and exploring the gorge. Be prepared for significant temperature fluctuations and dress accordingly.
