★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 84 reviews · from $280

Two days in Mongolia’s Semi Gobi, camel rides in sand dunes, and a real Kharkhorum visit with Erdenezuu Monastery, museum, and ger nights.

“Highly recommend the 2-day tour to the "fake"-gobi desert, we had the best time! The temple was beautiful, with the wide grassland if felt almost otherworldly. Our guide was quite knowlageable and explained the different religious aspects. We slept in a traditional Ger which was a really nice experience! it was very cozy with its own oven to warm up during the night. Also a beautiful area to see the sunset over the temple just next to the camp. The second day we got to ride both camels and horses, through breathtaking landscapes, simply amazing. The animals seemed well fed and also very well trained, generally well taken care of.…”
