The 6 Best Camel Riding Experiences in Mongolia

6 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.4 average  ·  from $49

Two humps, winter wool, and a rolling gait you will still feel at dinner: the Bactrian is the Gobi’s own camel. The 6 experiences below put you on one at the Elsen Tasarkhai dunes and beyond — what each costs, how long you ride, and what fills the rest of the day.

“This was one of the best tours I have experienced. So many places and stops in one day, but did not feel rush. Vaga took great pictures. He was an amazing, funny and kind person. Took us afterwords for great Mongolian food. Eagles, camels and hikes the Turtle Rock. The monastery had beautiful landscapes.”

3.Camel Trails and Bird Tales: Discovering Elsen Tasarkhai

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 10 reviews · from $130

Day trip from Ulaanbaatar to Elsen Tasarkhai for camel rides in Semi-Gobi dunes, bird watching at a lake, and hiking time.

“An unforgettable day. We saw so much. A visit to a nomadic family in their yurt. There we drank tea and milk and ate home-baked cookies. We rode on 2 beautiful camels, accompanied by the head of the nomad family. During the 45-minute ride into the steppe and the dunes, he took lots of impressive photos of us. Later we hiked on the dunes of the Semi-Gobi. Our guide was excellent. He drove us safely and very well. The drive through the Mongolian steppe was a great experience. Highly recommended and we would do it again any time.”

“Take Care to book! They can cancel the tour only 10 hours before like they did with us! It was not because of the weather, because it is good! We don’t receive even a message telling why the tour was canceled! I extremely don’t recommend! No commitment!”
