Private Semi Gobi and Khustai Tour

If you’re thinking about booking a private tour instead of joining a group, please take a look at the prices in the ‘Tour Price’ section.
The cost depends on how many people — such as your family or friends — will be coming with you. Check the rate that matches the size of your group.

What Are Standard Ger Camps?

Standard Ger Camps are like hotels, but instead of rooms, you sleep in a Ger. These camps are usually near famous places. A Standard Ger has 2 to 4 single beds, a small table, a stove to keep warm. And sometimes a a shelf or a small sink. There is no bathroom inside the ger. You will use clean toilets and hot showers in another building nearby. There is also a place to eat, and sometimes a small bar or game room.
Some camps have Ensuite Gers. These have a private bathroom inside the ger. If you want this type, please tell us. We can book it for you, but it costs extra.
