Jargal Jiguur

Top choice in Mongolia


This excellent place is run by the infectiously bubbly Jargal. It's located at the foot of beautiful mountains, and is based around a mineral spring pool that feeds into on-site natural baths. Throw in some modern toilet blocks and great cuisine at its restaurant, and you've got a winner of a ger camp.
