Khar Temis

Western Mongolia


This decrepit holiday camp, with a few shops, a restaurant and a gas station nearby, acts as the hub for Mongolians holidaying here, even though most people camp on the beach. It has a number of grotty three-bed rooms, half of which have balconies facing the lake, as well as three- , five- and eight-bed gers.

The beach by the main road here is a surreal sight, given that it's about 2000km from the nearest coastline.
