Reasons To
Visit Mongolia

  • Ancient history

    The story of Genghis Khan is fascinating; from his unification of disparate Mongolian clans to the violent rampages across Asia, conquering almost half the known world.

    Ancient history
  • Dinosaurs

    Although it's difficult to believe, once Mongolia's Gobi region was an oasis of lakes, marshes and swamps which were home to a vast variety of dinosaur species. Today, fossils of these fascinating creatures are still being unearthed. Indeed its possible to visit some of these areas as well as to view some of the country's most famous finds.

  • Festivals

    The Nadaam festival is a spectacle to behold, with local nomads attending from around the country to show off their skills in the “manly” sports horse racing, archery and wrestling. A true Mongolian custom!

  • Landscapes

    Mongolia is a country with a vast variety of differing landscapes. From the lush, alpine valleys found in the north around Lake Khuvsgul to the vast steppe lands at Khustai National Park along with the desolate splendour of the Gobi, Mongolia offers a variety of idyllic and stunning views.

  • Monasteries & Shamanism

    It's virtually impossible to travel in Mongolia for any length of time without encountering something which relates to Mongolian spirituality. Buddhist monasteries can be found within the major towns and cities whilst cairns of stones and other offerings litter the countryside, festooned with vivid blue prayer flags.

  • Off the beaten track

    The sheer size and vast openness of the Mongolian plains are breathtaking. The Gobi desert covers over 2 million hectares and is home to an array of wildlife and varying terrain.

Accommodation in Mongolia: Toilogot Ger Camp

Our Rating: Simple

Toilogot Ger Camp

Lake Khuvsgul

This camp is idyllically situated beside the Toilogt lagoon on the western shore of Lake Khovsgol. It benefits from being right on the water's edge, and the gers are dotted around the gently sloping grass clearing surrounded by larch forest.

The camp is well run by Nansa and her team of friendly staff. Guests can relax in the wood-fired sauna, enjoy a massage, take a kayak out along the lake or take a trip on the camp's old fishing boat to Rock Island in the centre of the lake.

In the evening, relax with a drink on the terrace of the ger camp overlooking the sunset across the water.
