Check-Ins

Good and very friendly city campground. Everything you need. And it fits big rigs easily…

Really nice woman and you can use the whole garden & fruits lake cocoa, oranges, mandarinas... It's fantastic
15$ for us with two persons.

The water is not running, but a tank with buckets so you can flush the toilets. Actually no showers.

They took away the entrance sign - but they are still there (for safety).
Make at least a message or call in advance as she knows who is coming.

It’s not a place to camp out, but it’s perfect for a night on the way to or from the border. We arrived late and left early. The spot is flat and paved (looks like a sort of parking lot), and we were completely alone. Behind a lot of trees and far from the road, so you’re not visible, and you can’t hear the traffic.

Yes, this is a great spot but just to be clear, this is the same campsite as the one marked Free Camping. The GPS location is closer on that listing but this is easy to find. Andrew's phone number is 0040727272682 if he's not there. He speaks good English. The little blue box on the biggest cabin is where you put your voluntary payment.

It's an ok place to visit the city. Quiet for a city center. Lots of parcs around to walk your dog if you have one. We stayed 2 nights, we didn't find the park meter so we did not pay and didn't see any policeman.

As described. Amazing sunrise over the lake. very quiet and peaceful night. no trash, no people. and 4g reception

Quiet and clean pitch for 12€ per night. (max. 3 nights)
There are many campers here, but there is still enough space. In some places there is an electricity connection.

Big fountain. You cannot miss it. The locals stop by and drink it as well.

Little bit smaller than the other fountain and next to a house. Fountain was still running, when we passed by. We had already filled up on the other spring. Lot of locals there to get water.

Campspot in a small elevated forest area next to a big Ovoo. There are multiple places, if you go deeper in the forest, you’ll get further from the road, but the less level it gets.

We camped at the closest spot 20 meters from the road, but we hardly saw any traffic. It’s a 1 minute walk to the lake. A group of curious yaks greeted us in the morning. LTE with Unitel.

To be honest we had better spots in Mongolia, but we added this one because we found out that wild camping options around the lake are very limited. Every flat area has a tourist ger camp on it, is very boggy/wet in summer or is marked closed with poles or signs. The lake and surroundings are very pretty, but it’s not a wild-camp paradise.

A small nature reserve with wetlands parking just off E9. Small parking with toilet and then nice walks to wetlands area. Benches, firepit, shelter by the wetlands (no cars). No no camping signs so just parked at the parking that only takes about 12 cars so not good in high season. Peaceful woods around. Locals walking, running etc during the day

If this place is close, we’ll be happy to receive you next door, we are also overlanders who just returned from a 2 years trip around Africa…
It’s my parent’s place but we are staying here for now, so just contact me on my WhatsApp number +33659427815 it’s Chadyne.

They have 3 menus with lentils, salad, naan, rice... and then you can choose in between chicken, lamb or vegetarian. Menu price: 80 somoni. You can ask for lassi. A bit pricy but yummy and felt really good after the Wakhan 😊

They helped us welding a piece of our car. Fast and pretty good job. 100 somoni. Super nice people, recommend!!

Good selection after Pamir and Wakhan shops but not fresh products. We found smoky cheese 😊

Fresh products: veggies, fruits, milk, bread,...and the other usual market goods (seeds, rice, pasta,...). Also traditional hats, souvenirs and clothes.

Beautiful spot just outside the National Park gates. Currently completing the renovations to the camp but ablutions are mostly done and beautiful. Quiet and serene as compared to the national park campground which is much more cramped. Beautiful brai pits and firewood included. Operating on a donation basis right now. Contact Piet on WhatsApp +27 82 875 5656. Piet and Ria are awesome hosts, also super helpful with route info and national park safari bookings.

No overnight parking in this Planet Fitness parking lot, regardless of membership. Despite no explicit signs to the contrary, security guard came around 10-11 pm to alert all. Ride on.

Stunning view over rainbow mountains, flat area, 4x4 recommended but not necessary. Good wifi connection (LTE)

Agree with picnics1970, the place is still available. Also our first spot after the border.

nice clinic,looks like in europe. we did dental cleaning.

the main road is terrible from the border until about jasliq, but there's a new road being built south of the main road. as of now its only partly finished and not accessible for cars but its great for cyclists. in some parts the road is nearly finished but often there's a few kilometers of gravel or clay surface in between, still a lot better than the main road though!

Perfect flow, easy to park next to the water.

We were pulled over in this town by a police officer who said we were speeding. We know the rules here and have been stopped a few times by corrupt police officers so we’ve been really careful to go at the speed limit or lower. He showed us a photo of our car two towns back with a clearly photo shopped speed of 66km/h in a 50 zone. We refused to pay the fine because we haven’t gone above 60 anywhere along this road. This cop was pulling every car over. We paid him 10,000sh and drove off, no official paper work. He’s clearly out for bribes.

This area is low and a river runs through. After rain it can get really muddy. Due to underestimating the mud we almost got stuck with our Land Cruiser.

We could not find this place. Asked some locals, they didn't know either.

Not sure if they just changed the price policy for camping. Per night you pay 20 USD for one person and any additional person is + 10 USD / Kids 5 USD. Max 6 persons per campsite.

We crossed at (49.734416, 90.207746) after walking through the river, we had no problems (Lada Niva). We made lunch around there and saw three motorcycles and one truck pass and there's a few gers within walking distance, in case you do have problems.

dorm 1500 ksh, double room 2000 ksh, single 3000 ksh.
wifi, hot water, no mosquito net, good location.

We drove in without an appointment and the friendly mechanics immediately assisted us, putting a new alternator and called somebody to fix the aircon. Highly recommended.
