near Khongoriin gol stream, which flows along
the northern edge of the dunes. The scenery
here is simply spectacular.
In Mongolia, the camel is said to be the "ship
in the sea of sand" - especially in the
Gobi.
The
Mongolian Bactrian Camel: People can
travel almost anywhere by camel. In olden days,
camel was the biggest and strongest form of
transport. Camel may look imposing but they
are actually very calm and easy to ride. One

for a panoramic view the natural beauty of the
Gobi.

for their hospitality.
More about our Camel Trekking Tour:
Mongolia camel riding trek is a unique adventure
that you will experience nowhere else! Take
a camel trekking tour in Mongolian gobi desert
and enjoy the adventure with us. We offer wonderful
camel tour in Mongolia.
The camel is
the main source of survival of nomadic people
in a hostile desert environment over centuries.
Mongolia camel riding tour is one of the most
fun adventures that one can experience. It's
widely taken in Mongolia, Africa and Australia.
And among these countries, Mongolia is the only
country that offers the exciting Bactrian camel
riding trek. But unlike a horse's reins which
are attached to a bit hold in the mouth, a camel's
reins are attached to a peg inserted in the
nose. Bits aren't used with a camel because
they are a cud-chewing animal. This means they
constantly chew. Even when they haven't eaten,
they still find something to chew. Mongolia's
is the place of camel riding adventures and
a great place for camel riding trips, camel
trekking tours and camel herding holidays. All
our treks let you experience the real meaning
of "beyond time and space". No need
for your watch, the sun will wake you up. No
concrete boundaries limit your sight just incredibly
magnificent mountains of always changing colors
and shapes. The nomadic Mongolians used to travel
on camel back and now they still use camels
for their near and far travels and moves. You
will enjoy exploring the Gobi Desert of Mongolia
by camel riding, namely 2 humped Bactrian camels.
We use beautifully decorated comfortable saddles
for the camel ride and guests love enjoying
the Gobi views while traveling by camel. Bactrian
camels are gentle animals and walk gently when
you are on a camel back. Camel back trekking
is an exciting adventure for those adventurous.
