3 / THREE CAMEL LODGE South Gobi, Mongolia

Your awaits at Three Camel Lodge, where 40 of the round wood-and-felt tents—elevated takes on Mongolia’s traditional nomadic dwelling—overlook the desert steppe. Guests can partake in archery, mountain biking, and horseback riding, though getting here is an adventure in itself: after flying into Ulanbaatar, you hop a prop plane for an hour’s flight to the frontier town of Dalanzadgad, and then drive another 90 minutes off-road deep into the Gobi Desert. threecamellodge.com; from US$700 per person
