  • Adiyabajar Camp

    The Gobi

    Not the best situated camp, but the nine gers are very clean, set on stone foundations and damn cheap. It doesn't offer meals or showers, but will boil…

    The Gobi

    Here are 27 gers scattered around a bathhouse and a two-storey timber lodge where meals are served. There's a timber sauna ($5), too. The property is…

    The only tourist camp in the area features a dozen tidy gers that each sleep four. They also offer clean bathrooms and showers set in a prefab trailer. It…

    Their 30 gers sleep two to four people, and though they are a bit bland you'll be comfortable. The best gers are those with double beds. The staff speaks…

  • Jinchin Hotel

    The Gobi

    The lobby is shiner than the rooms, which are good value, have wood floors and tasteful wallpaper, but no air-con. It's that turquoise building on the…

  • Mongol Baigali Hotel

    The Gobi

    A rather rundown socialist-era hotel. Rooms are large enough to make it doable for a night if you're desperate to save cash. Three of the four rooms have…

  • Soyombo

    The Gobi

    Rooms have hardwood floors, tasteful wallpaper and flat screens. We saw a room with torn sheets on the bed, cracks in the floors and scuffed walls, but…

    The Gobi

    The closest tourist camp to the tallest dunes (which are about 3km southwest of here), Juulchin, with its stone-and-brick lodge building, has the…
