Khetsuu Khad Ger Camp

Western Mongolia


This well-equipped ger camp is next to Khetsuu Khad, seemingly in the middle of nowhere. It has hot showers, flush toilets, a restaurant and clean, comfortable gers as well as rooms in a small guesthouse. The rocks between the camp and the lake are fun to clamber over, and the views from the top of them are superb.

The turn-off from the main road towards the camp is signposted, just east of Khar Temis holiday camp, but it's still quite a long drive from here. The last 15km are very sandy and it’s easy to get stuck, so don’t attempt it without a reliable 4WD.
