The Gobi
This well set-up ger camp is a short walk from the ruins of Tsorjiin Khureenii Khiid, and offers 21 clean gers set against stacked slate formations that ramble over the plains. They have table tennis and billiards tables, hot showers and a pleasant domed dining room, and one of their gers has an attached bath (per person with meals US$51).
Vegetarian meals are available upon request.
