Gobi Tour Price
What a Gobi desert tour costs from Ulaanbaatar, from a day trip to the Mini Gobi to six days in the South Gobi, per person and for a single traveller, with what each price includes.
A Gobi desert tour from Ulaanbaatar costs from about US$175 a person for a day trip to the Mini Gobi to US$1,250 a person for six days in the South Gobi, when two adults book together. Travelling alone costs more: on Danista Nomads Tour’s 6-day tour one adult paid US$2,300, against US$2,500 for two adults together, on 27 November 2026, 15 January and 26 March 2027 (checked November 2026). What separates the prices is the number of days and whether the tickets, meals and nights are in them.
The ladder
Regular From prices per person (GetYourGuide checked November 2026; Viator checked November 2026). Operators price by date, season and party size, so treat them as the shape of the market, not a quote; the 6-day tour’s prices for one and two adults are for the three dates named above.
What the price includes
The cheapest line is not always the cheapest trip. MJ Travel LLC's 2-day trip is the car, fuel, tolls and a driver-guide; the Erdene Zuu and museum tickets, the meals, the camel or horse ride and the night in a Kharkhorin ger are paid in tugrik on the spot. CentralMongoliatour .com’s 2-day trip costs about the same and includes the camel ride, the ger night with dinner and both tickets.
At the top, Danista Nomads Tour’s 6-day price includes the hotel pickup, the 4WD with its driver and fuel, an English-speaking guide who also cooks, the meals set out for each day, 1.5 litres of water a day, entrance fees for the national parks and museums, camping equipment and the camel ride. A horse ride in the Yol valley costs extra, and beer, snacks and souvenirs are yours. For two adults it works out at about US$208 each a day; for a single traveller at about US$383.
Two, or one?
The 6-day tour has one option and one price per party: two adults paid US$2,500 together and one adult US$2,300 on all three dates, so a second traveller adds only US$200. If you are travelling alone and the price stops you, either find a travel companion before you book or choose a shorter trip. The private Viator tours are priced per person as well, and private means your party only.
For a 6-day trip the price is high and the commitment long, so read a 3-day or 6-day Gobi tour before you choose, and when to book a Gobi tour for the season.
