What is the accommodation like?We offer a selection of 3-5 star hotels in the center of Ulaanbaatar for your convenience. However, if you prefer to book your own accommodation, you are welcome to do so. For your stay in rural areas outside the city, we recommend two great accommodation options. If comfort is a priority, we suggest a stay at a tourist camp. For a more authentic nomadic experience, we offer homestays with local nomadic families, which are also ideal for those on a tighter budget. You can even alternate between staying at a tourist camp and with a nomadic family to enjoy both comfort and cultural immersion. Please let us know your preferred accommodation, and we'll be happy to assist you!
-
What is the tourist ger camp?Ger camps, featuring the traditional roundhouses of nomadic life, are the main accommodation in the countryside during the tours. The ger camps are located close to the main attractions or in scenic areas in the appropriate day’s driving distance from one another. Mongolian camp has approximately 15-40 gers, a large ger restaurant or a house restaurant serves European and Mongolian meals. Some ger camps have game rooms and open playgrounds. Flush toilets and showers are located in separate blocks from the ger accommodations. There are several ger camps featuring attached private bathroom gers and those gers are considered ensuite. If you wish to stay at the ensuite gers, please inform us in advance and we will gladly arrange the ensuite gers for an additional fee. The ger camp staff work hard to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay for their guests. Some of the ger camp staff speak basic English while others speak English and other languages fluently.
-
What is a nomadic family's ger camp?We believe in comfort and welcoming accommodation for guests to enjoy this trip as much as possible. The main type of shelter that's offered is a traditional Mongolian ger which is located next to the nomadic family in the countryside. When you stay in the nomadic ger camp you will have a great opportunity to explore the nomadic lifestyle but the facilities that you can have been limited compared to the tourist ger camp. The toilet is a simple outhouse and there is no shower. Staying in the nomadic family's ger camp can be an authentic and once-in-a-lifetime experience however if you prefer coziness then we advise you to choose a tourist camp.
-
What is food?In Ulaanbaatar, you will be dining at fine European and Asian cuisine restaurants. Mutton, beef, rice, and noodles form the basis of the Mongolian diet, so your meals will be based around this. However, the trail rations may include vegetables, eggs, peanut butter, cheese and sometimes yak! On some days there will be lunchboxes from tourist camps as there are no camps or eating places on the journey. It is good food and our experience has been that guests are happy with it.
-
What should I bring with me?Warm thin layers of clothing, waterproof jacket, good walking boots and sandals, a hat and headscarf to protect you from the sun and winds. insect repellent, sun cream, lip-gloss, water purifying tablets and first aid kit (medicine for headache, cold, diarrhea, runny nose; bandages; any medicine prescribed for you) all your camera equipment and binoculars, and perhaps some snacks to eat between meal times.
