“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.”

6.1 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.”
