About The Hotel

Nestled in the heart of the Omnogobi Aimag, the lodge is tucked beside an outcrop bearing ancient petroglyphs. The authenticity goes well beyond the surface to create a true sense of place. From hand-carved wood furnishings created by local artisans to the well house crafted to resemble a miniature temple, there is no doubt you are firmly planted in the Mongolia’s Gobi Desert—surrounded by amenities of modern luxury.

Three Camel Lodge enchants guests with luxuriously appointed classic ger. Cozy wool carpets, thick camel-hair blankets, and furniture carved and painted by hand adorn each ger with authentic comfort. Heated by a wood stove and offering either a hand-painted, handmade king or two twin beds, every ger features a private bathroom.

Sustainable Initiatives

Animal conservation

A partnership with the Mongolian Bankhar Dog Project focuses on breeding, raising, and donating Bankhar puppies to nomadic families, helping reestablish this ancient Mongolian dog breed in the countryside while also saving endangered Snow leopards, frequently responsible for attacks on livestock. Bankhar dogs, known as Mastiffs, are native to Mongolia and prized for their protective instincts safeguarding livestock - where the dogs have been re-introduced, human-wildlife conflict involving Snow leopards in Mongolia has decreased dramatically. Three Camel Lodge also partners with Mongolia’s Wildlife Science and Conservation Center to protect thesegolden eagles of prey. In addition to studying this raptor’s population and behavior and promoting animal welfare, the lodge’s partnership with Mongolia’s Wildlife Science and Conservation Center also aims to protect cultural heritage by building a sustainable future for the country’s ancient falconry tradition.

Community Empowerment

The lodge employs a 100 percent Mongolian staff and actively promotes employees – with a particular focus on women – into leadership roles. In the surrounding community, Three Camel Lodge also supports local artisans and small businesses. In support of local community needs, the lodge has established important permanent water wells to assist nomadic herders and provides grass hay and protein pallets to help the local community when there is low rainfall and not enough grass for animals to survive Mongolia’s harsh, long winter months. Mongolian music and dance students at the Gobi Hanhongor School receive supplies and instruments from the lodge and are invited to perform live for guests. Three Camel Lodge’s scholarship program also provides support for performing arts students studying at the university level to help keep Mongolia’s music and dance heritage thriving into the future.

Environmental Responsibility

Conservation programs include a reforestation initiative that has planted more than 12,000 trees to prevent desertification. At the lodge, solar panels power LED lights, purified drinking-water stations fill reusable metal bottles, and more than 50 percent of supplies and ingredients come from within 50 miles – including from an on-site organic greenhouse.
