3.1 Day Semi-Gobi Tour Including Lunch And Free Camel +Bonus Khustai National Park

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 6 reviews · from $168

Leave Ulaanbaatar at 5:00 am for a private day in Mongolia’s semi-Gobi. Ride a camel near Elsen Tasarkhai, visit a nomad family, eat lunch, and look for wild Przewalski horses in Khustai National Park. Bata is one staff member praised by name, though camel time and park access can vary.

“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.”
