The camp accommodates up to 140 people in 40 warm, comfortable gers, with traditional furniture, cosy textiles, and a wood-burning stove. Most guests use a communal bathroom block with toilets and hot showers. However, there are also 10 deluxe gers with private bathrooms.
The restaurant serves Mongolian cuisine alongside Western and Asian classics, and the lounge hosts music and dance performances including throat singing.
Explore the ancient city of Karakorum and the Erdene Zuu Monastery, go horseback riding and birdwatching in the Orkhon Valley, and take an ox-cart ride through the steppe.
