More Than Three at Three Camel Lodge

Where: The Gobi, Mongolia

If you're staying in the desert of Mongolia, you really can't go past a night in a ger--those big tent things that we like to call yurts, too--but you might want to do it in a bit of comfort. That's where the Three Camel Lodge sounds like it's got the right mix going of authentic cultural stuff and a bit of Western-style comfort too.

The Three Camel Lodge is in the Gobi Desert, within glimpsing distance of the Gobi-Altai Mountain Range. We're talking a place where there are normal modern bathrooms, a TV, laundry service and, well, no internet by the sounds of it, but they do have board games.

Since you're kinda stuck in the middle of nowhere, the Three Camel Lodge has made sure there are plenty of activities to keep you interested (and staying longer), and that includes camel treks through the sand dunes. We've heard that they actually have access to a lot more than just three camels, so we don't know where the name comes from.
