When travelers stay with a nomadic family in the Gobi Desert, they experience the unique way of life shaped by arid landscapes and deep-rooted traditions. Guests sleep in individual gers (yurts), each accommodating up to 4 people, furnished with beds, tables, and chairs. The agency provides shower access and a dry eco-toilet, ensuring a balance of comfort and authenticity.

What to Experience

• Shared meals: Eat traditional dishes with the host family in the main ger.
• Cultural exchange: Discover Gobi nomadic customs, desert survival knowledge, and daily routines.
• Daily activities: Join in hands-on tasks like:
  • Herding camels and goats
  • Making traditional dairy products such as aaruul and urum
  • Chopping and collecting wood from the dry steppe
• Desert adventures: Ride a camel through the dunes and hike around rocky canyons.

Why It’s Special

A stay with a Gobi nomadic family is more than just accommodation—it’s an insight into how people thrive in one of the world’s harshest environments. The connection to land, resourceful living, and heartfelt hospitality offer a profound, eye-opening experience that becomes a highlight of any journey through Mongolia’s south.
