Khyargas Nuur Tourist Camp

Top choice in Western Mongolia


About 30km east of the relative hubbub at Khar Temis, this Mongolian-run camp is on a lovely, isolated spur of land that dangles out into the lake. Four-bed gers and cabins are clean, tidy and include use of a shower and toilet block. It's about 3km off the paved road, marked by a sign.

Its restaurant can dish up Mongolian and international food with advance notice.
