Camel Tours in the Gobi

Cross the Gobi by Bactrian camel, with private guides and remote camps.

Travelling the Gobi by Bactrian camel is a different way of covering the desert than a 4×4 route — slower, quieter, and built around the animal that has moved people and goods across this landscape for centuries. This page covers camel trekking specifically; for a vehicle-based Gobi itinerary covering the main sights, see our Gobi Desert Tours page.

Routes are private and built around your available time, from short introductory rides to multi-day treks with wild camps.

Days on a camel trek move at a walking pace, with the animals carrying gear while you ride or walk alongside as preferred. Camps are set up fresh each evening on multi-day routes, under open sky.

Local handlers manage the camels throughout and are experienced with travellers riding for the first time.
