Baga Gazar Camp

The Gobi


Opened in 2013, here are 20 tidy gers set on stone foundations, surrounding a main bathhouse and a hexagonal dining room where you can tuck into vegetarian meals if arranged in advance. This is the best tourist camp in the area. Each ger offers one to four beds, so couples can cuddle up here.
