Embark on a journey deep into the Eastern Gobi and experience Mongolia at its wildest.
Venture among striking granite cliffs, sun-baked steppes, and quiet groves where silence feels endless. Here, every step is a chance to spot Mongolia’s rare wildlife — from the mighty Argali Sheep, the world’s largest wild sheep, to agile Siberian Ibex perched on rocky slopes. Watch Cinereous Vultures glide overhead and listen to the desert wind echo through the valleys.

Explore ancient petroglyphs, forgotten burial sites, and the ruins of Buddhist temples that whisper stories from centuries past. Wander or cycle at your own pace through this vast landscape, or ride a horse or camel for a true nomadic adventure. After a day of exploration, unwind in authentic Mongolian gers, combining traditional charm with simple comfort and warmth. As the sun sets, share stories with fellow travelers under the wide Mongolian sky — a perfect ending to a day of discovery and connection.

Our philosophy is to offer a slow paced low impact travel experience, visiting different places on a horse back, a yak carts, and a camel carts rather than traveling long difficult journeys on a vehicle. In all of our destinations, each of our camps guarantees a 360 degree unbroken view of the Mongolian landscape.

Ger Camp

The camp can host up to 30 guests in double-occupancy Traditional Mongolian yurts (gers). Fully collapsible, the camp is designed to minimize environmental impact. It features EcoLoo composting toilets that use a natural bacterial blend to process waste, and shower gers with water heated by wood-burning stoves. Solar panels provide electricity for the kitchen and refrigeration. All waste is carefully sorted and managed. The camp’s overall footprint is comparable to that of a traditional herding family, making it an excellent example of sustainable, low-impact travel.

All meals are provided three times daily in the restaurant ger. The service includes a buffet breakfast, two- to three-course lunches and dinners. Tea and coffee are available throughout the day. Packed lunches for excursions can be pre-ordered.
