Namon is a family-run camp in the Yeroo river valley of Selenge, northern Mongolia — about 280 km from Ulaanbaatar, where the pine forest of Tujiin Nars meets the open steppe.

We keep our own horses and camels, and our neighbours are nomadic families who have herded here for generations. Ride the grassland by day; by night there is a campfire, food from the hearth and a sky full of stars. Small groups, slow travel, no fences.

Saddle up at golden hour and follow the herd paths home — then trade the saddle for a seat by the fire.

Airport and hotel transfers, along with vehicle, driver, and fuel costs during local travel, are all included in the price.

Meals included: breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus one 500 ml bottle of water per day.

We will take you wherever you want to go by horse, car, or motorcycle.

Campsites, traditional Mongolian gers, and tents

Fly into Chinggis Khaan International Airport in Ulaanbaatar. From the city it is about 280 km north to camp — a half-day drive through the steppe, or an overnight train towards Sukhbaatar.

We arrange pickup from the airport or the station for every booking — tell us your arrival time when you request a tour and we will plan the rest.

Grandma Burmaa's Legacy: Nurturing Nature's Bounty

Orkhon soum is renowned for its abundant harvests, and the locals, known for their hardworking nature, cultivate lush gardens. A testament to this dedication is Grandma Burmaa, a former school teacher, who embarked on a journey of sustainable agriculture in 1962.

Today, her garden thrives in the fertile land of Selenge, providing The Yeruu Lodge with a rich array of nutritious fruits and vegetables.

Grandma Burmaa's commitment to cultivating produce in the most nutritious soil speaks volumes about her understanding of the vital role that vitamins play in our daily diet.

At our lodge, we take the concept of farm-to-table to new heights with our 4-season greenhouse. Here, we cultivate our own herbs, vegetables, and salads, fostering a sustainable and eco-friendly approach to gastronomy. Collaborating with local farmers, we ensure that our ingredients are sourced ethically and support the surrounding community.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner, one 500ml bottle of water each day
