We at Yeruu Lodge want to make a positive impact on the lives of others. Not only for our guests, giving them an adventure of a lifetime, but also for our local community and the environment around us. We know and understand that we have a responsibility to do our part.
Solar panels are used throughout the lodge to provide electricity. We get water from our own well, providing us with hot water 24/7. We make our food waste into compost that we use to grow our own vegetables, berries and herbs. Other ingredients we source from local markets and farmers.
We also try to give back to the local community as much as we can. A big part of our workforce are local nomads living within the area, and we participate as much as we can in local events.
We provide local artists an opportunity to pursue their passion and display their talents by arranging performances within the community. This will support our artists while boosting awareness of the local culture and encouraging greater involvement from the local community.
Yeruu Lodge invites you to live in one of our traditional Mongolian Gers. We offer two different designs, the historical based on the design used by Chinggis (Djengis) Khan and the “easier to move” and common Ger amongst nomads today. With a history of almost 3000 years this round tent construction of wood, canvas and layers of felt is still serving as an environmentally friendly home for families living the original Mongolian nomadic life, following the seasons and their stock.
The Ger or Yurt holds an open space where meals are served, stories are told and the family sleeps. Decorated with wooden furniture the different living functions are oriented by south, east, west and north, in the centre of the Ger the stove is placed. As a guest you may enjoy the Mongolian hospitality and guest are at normally seated in the westside of the Ger. You can also be invited to sit in any part of the Ger and next to the host. Like any household there are manners to follow, like not to whistle inside as it may bring bad luck or that the fire is sacred and should only be fed with firewood.

Where to find us
Located in the province Selenge, we are approximately 50 kilometers north of Darkhan, the second largest city in Mongolia.
Once you get off the train in a small settlement called Orkhon, we will pick you up and drive you the last stretch to our camp.
If you’re travelling with the Trans-Siberian railway, Sukhbaatar will be the closest stop to us. Just let us know and we will pick you up and drive you the last 53 kilometers to us.
Taking the local train to our camp is a true Mongolian experience. You will see amazing views, small settlements and livestock freely roaming the steppes. Looking out the window, you enter a kind of dream state, as the wide landscape stretches out before you.
You will experience all this while sharing a carriage with families and other travelers. We will not lie to you, it will test your patience, and a drop of sweat or two will probably role down your forehead, but we can promise it will all be worth it. Not only for the experience but also for the chance to see the beauty in the small things in life.
