Mongolia · CAMEL TREKKING
The Bactrian has two humps, an opinion, and a gait that takes a mile to get used to. These 6 treks run from an hour on the near dunes to days between camps, each with its price, its length and how much of it is actually spent riding.
Review of Mongolia’s $49 Genghis Khan statue and Terelj National Park day tour, with hiking, camel rides, eagles, lunch, and practical tips.
“I liked this tour, there are many places included. Even small hiking, so better have a good shoes. This is group tour, not private. Tour organisation was really good, leaders taking care about everyone and checking a happiness level.”
Review of Ulaanbaatar’s Semi-Gobi day trip, with camel riding, a nomad family visit, lunch, travel times, costs, and practical advice.
“Travelled with Angrag from Travel Mongolia and it was an amazing experience! He was an experienced careful driver, speaks good English, very patient, stopped whenever I want to take closer photos, and took good pictures for me too. Though drive was long, about 5h to get there (stuck in city traffic for long time) it was very worth it! Visited a normad Ger, family was friendly, home made lunch was good, and a 20min camel ride over vastness, totally wonderful feeling! Sand dune was smaller than I expected but still breathtaking.

Ride camels across Elsen Tasarkhai, hike Mongolia’s Semi Gobi dunes, visit a lake, and watch birds on a long but scenic day trip.
“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.”

Review of a private Ulaanbaatar day trip to Elsen Tasarkhai, with lunch, camel riding, nomad culture, and Khustai horses.
“We drove for 10 hours for a 20 minute camel ride. It was it. Literally. We didn't see the sand dune or the Hustai park because of the torrential rain and the lack if time. Our car was old, with a broken windscreen wipes and seats and no safety features at all. It's not worth it for this type of money. On a brighter side, the scenery was fantastic.”
The parks, the desert, the saddle days and the capital.
