Tuul Riverside Lodge Gachuurt - Gachuurt
The Tuul Riverside Lodge is a small, fully sustainable, traditional Mongolian camp surrounded by a sea of grass and rolling hills, which stretch down to the nearby River Tuul and beyond. Situated within an hour’s drive east of Mongolia’s bustling capital Ulaanbaatar, a warm, and peaceful welcome awaits you. You will stay in beautifully decorated traditional dwellings, known locally as gers, with the added advantage of en suite facilities.
At the Tuul Riverside Lodge there is something for everyone, regardless of age, experience or ability. We offer a wide range of both adventure and cultural activities, allowing you to enjoy and learn about Mongolia to the fullest. Relax around a roaring campfire and marvel as the Milky Way passes overhead. Enjoy the solitude and freedom that is Mongolia, and let your worries fade away.
Given the high standards of the lodge, the beauty and tranquility of the area, and its close proximity to the city, make it the perfect place to hold small business meetings, conferences and team building days.
The camp can cater to a wide range of activities to suit all ages and abilities. The surrounding terrain is perfect for horse riding, and there is no better way to explore the area than with one of the local guides. Ride the mountain-steppe like the locals have since the days of Chinggis Khaan and before.
The camp is also perfectly placed for you to discover Mongolia and its people. A wide variety of cultural activities can be organised for you to experience rural life at first hand. Visits to local herding families have proved to be very popular and you will see how a typical day is spent on the steppe. Learn about the traditional summer foods or "tsagaan idee", or how to cook a Mongolian meal. Learn how to sing a traditional Mongolian folk song, or how the game of "shagai" is played. Enjoy a traditional concert, listening to the haunting sounds of "huumi" or throat singing. Other activities include ger building, and Mongolian wrestling, and the chance to take part in a Warrior Training Camp. The Tuul Riverside Lodge is perfectly located to give you many insights into the life of the nomad.
