Our first night in the Gobi was spent at the Three Camel Ger Camp. It was beautiful. We were very impressed with your efforts to build such a wonderful, eco-efficient ger camp. The staff bent over backwards to ensure everything went well.

The Three Camel Lodge was built to complement its natural surroundings and to utilize renewable energy sources, taking advantage of both solar and wind power. Local artisans and workers crafted the roofs of the buildings in accordance with the canons of Mongolian Buddhist architecture, without using a single nail. Simple, natural materials keep the sense of nature flowing throughout the lodge to create a truly enchanting environment.
The design and development of the Three Camel Lodge was guided by an emphasis on local community values and ecological sustainability. While planning and building the lodge, we initiated a cooperative agreement, the first of its kind, with local government and National Park authoritiesa reflection of our commitment to sustainable development and conservation of nature. Hunting has been prohibited within a 12-mile radius and the Three Camel Lodge will serve as a base for scientific research and wildlife monitoring. We also actively fight against unauthorized removal of dinosaur fossils from paleontological sites and animal poaching.
Working with the local community, the Three Camel Lodge funds and organizes nature conservation clubs for children in local secondary schools. Activities for the children include collecting litter, cleaning and protecting mountain springs, planting native trees and bushes, and attending presentations by leading naturalists and scientists.
