Timber rooms, modern gers and family cabins running on sun and batteries. A restaurant that cooks from the valley, horses in the paddock, and a night sky with nothing in the way.
Quiet enough to hear the river. Wired enough to book it in a minute.
Big Sky runs on its own 90 kWp solar array and battery bank. No generator, no grid, hot water in every bathroom and Wi-Fi that guests rate 10 out of 10. Days are for riding, walking to the granite tors above the lodge, archery, or nothing at all on the deck. Nights are for the fire and the stars.
Owned and run by RAHM Hospitality, sister company of Rara Avis Travel. The natural first or last night of any Mongolian journey, and a destination on its own, in every season.
Every rate includes breakfast at Khanagar. Check dates below, book on the secure page, and the lodge confirms. Free cancellation up to 5 days before arrival.
Timber rooms in the main lodge with private bathroom, hot water and the fireplace hall a staircase away.
A traditional felt ger built the modern way: a king bed, proper insulation, a wood stove for cold nights, and the valley outside the door.
Two bedrooms with two beds each and a living room in between. The right fit for families and small teams who want their own door.
