The Gobi desert is far away for a short weekend or a day's visit; therefore, this "semi-Gobi" in central Mongolia is your chance to experience desert life. Imagine a picture that consists of the Rocky Mountains in the back, sand dunes extending over dunes, green trees in and by the dunes, and a river flowing along the dunes. That is what Semi-Gobi looks like! Camel riding or horse riding is also included in this tour. Overnight home-stay in nomadic family is great way to explore the way of living nomadic culture.

Bachi is a great guide with a wealth of knowledge and the family you stay with is very kind and giving. There’s some beautiful scenes and lots of yummy traditional Mongolian food. The Camel ride is actually only about 10-15 mins but still very enjoyable
Do not book via Viator

This is not worth the money. The experience we had was indeed nice, the views were break taking, the nomad family was nice, tour guides were nice and helpful. HOWEVER, the package we booked included Hustai national park and we were never taken there. The local tourist guys informed that they have asked to update Viator but Viator has not updated their website. We ended up paying $470 which didn't even include the full package that was listed in the website. Super disappointed and would tell anyone to not book trips via Viator specially in Mongolia.
