PACKING LISTS

Eco-friendly tours packing list for your trip to Mongolia

Your packing list for a trip to Mongolia will vary based on the type of tour you're taking, the length of your stay, the region you're visiting, and the time of year. When preparing for your journey, consider sustainable travel by packing light and choosing eco-friendly tours, which will help minimize your environmental footprint during your adventure. 

We recommend traveling as lightly as possible, particularly if your tour includes domestic flights, trekking, or horseback riding, all aligned with sustainable travel practices. Remember that the luggage limit for domestic flights is 15 kg, including your handbag. Reducing excess baggage helps lower carbon emissions and supports responsible tourism. Eco-friendly tours

If you exceed this limit, you'll be charged an extra fee of 2-3 USD per kilogram, depending on your destination. However, if you're staying in a hotel, you may be able to leave some of your belongings behind if they're not essential for your countryside trip, which also helps reduce unnecessary weight and waste. 

CLASSIC TOUR PACKING LIST

  • For your eco-friendly tours to Mongolia, focus on packing items that minimize your environmental impact. Choose washable clothes to avoid laundry waste, and opt for eco-friendly clothing that can be reused. A rechargeable or solar-powered torch/headlamp is ideal for ger camps.
