Camel trekking tour trough Mongolian largest sand dunes

For the more adventurous, why not try Mongolia camel trekking? The camels are Bactrian and have two humps. The Gobi is the perfect place to experience all the fun of camels which are surprisingly more comfortable than horse riding as they walk slowly and gently, and we will be well supported by the humps, sitting comfortably between them. The best time to visit the Gobi is June or September. Beautiful scenery and exhilarating riding – a wonderful combination!
