| The Three Camel
Lodge was built to complement its natural surroundings and to utilize
renewable energy sources, taking advantage of both solar and wind
power. Local artisans and workers crafted the roofs of the buildings
in accordance with the canons of Mongolian Buddhist architecture,
without using a single nail. Simple, natural materials keep the
sense of nature flowing throughout the lodge to create a truly enchanting
environment. |

Location:
Three Camel Lodge is located in the Gobi next to the Gobi Gurransaikhan
National Park - about 1.5 hours drive from the Provincial Capital. |

The Three Camel Lodge takes pride in the highest standard of service

by the great Khans centuries ago. We provide the best available
selection of local dishes and traditional specialties for the Western
palate. We can also make special arrangements for most dietary needs. |
