A Night in a Terelj Ger Camp
A Terelj ger camp stay: shared or private gers, showers or a pit toilet, meals, and which tours include the night, plus room searches for a Terelj hotel or camp on your own. November 2026.
A night in a Terelj ger camp is the reason to give the park two days instead of one: the evening and the morning in the valley, with no drive back to Ulaanbaatar. The camps differ more than the word “ger” suggests, from a shared ger with private bathroom facilities to a herder family’s ger with an outdoor pit toilet. The easiest way to book the night is with the trip around it, and Arvaintsatsal LLC’s 2-Day Gorkhi-Terelj Tour: Horse Riding, Hiking & Ger Stay does that from US$355 each for two adults (checked November 2026), with the ride, the meals and the entrance fees in the price.
The calendar is Arvaintsatsal LLC’s 2-day tour. One adult booking alone paid US$455 on 27 November 2026 and 15 January 2027.

The listings’ includes and itineraries on GetYourGuide, checked November 2026.
The premium ger night is a different kind of product: the price buys the transport, a Mongolian-speaking driver, the park entry, the ger and breakfast, and nothing else. No guide comes with it. It shows from US$140 a person (checked November 2026).
Shared or private
On Arvaintsatsal LLC’s tours the ger is shared with other guests of the same tour, 2 to 3 to a ger, and a private ger is an extra you request in advance, subject to availability. On the 2-day tour men and women sleep separately. If you are travelling as a couple or a family and want your own ger, ask for it when you book.
What to pack for the night
- Warm layers. Warm clothing is on the 3-day tour’s to-bring list, whatever the month.
- Something for the hosts. On the 3-day tour a small gift for the herder family, such as sweets, fruit or school supplies, is welcome but not required.
- Light luggage. Oversize luggage is not allowed on the 2- and 3-day tours.
