Tolbo Lake Ger Camp

Western Mongolia


Each of this camp’s five Kazakh–style gers sleeps four to five people; there are also three dorm cabins. The lake waters are shallow here for 15m, and good for swimming. The camp, operated by Altai Expeditions, has a restaurant and showers but no wi-fi. Booking ahead is essential. Good camping spots nearby.
