Tour of Mongolia

Remember to bring a valid passport with an expiration date not less than 6 months from the time of entry into the country.

The itinerary may undergo some changes before and/or during the trip.

Most of the tents at the tourist campsites can accommodate up to 3 or 4 people, with comfortable beds and blankets. Western-style toilets and simple showers are shared in the camp, although the water pressure can be unstable and only lukewarm.

In our family ger camps, you will live the same life as the nomads, close to the land and their animals. Beds may be mattresses on the floor in a shared ger and there will be no sanitary facilities. This is a true taste of Mongolian life and it might be very different from what you are used to. For these stays, you will need to bring your own sleeping bag.

Most meals are included once you leave the nation's capital. If you have very specific dietary needs, you must inform us well in advance. We will do our best to accommodate your needs, but you might need to be prepared to bring some of your own supplies from home or stock up at supermarkets in Ulan Bator. Vegetarians can be catered for, although the choice may be limited. Some of the food will be in traditional Mongolian style, but since the traditional diet consists exclusively of meat and dairy, most of the meals prepared for our groups are less challenging and more based on Russian or Western cuisine, which is now also common in the Mongolian diet.

This is a journey that includes extended travel in remote terrains, far from modern facilities and conveniences. Since we spend a lot of time traveling each day, it's important to realize that the emphasis of this journey is on the travel, moving through wonderful landscapes and staying in marvelous places. As we travel by private means for the entire duration of the trip, we spend a lot of time together with the members of our group. If you are looking for an active or independent trip with a lot of choice of daily physical and cultural activities, then you might consider whether this trip is the right one for you. However, if you wish to explore a fascinating style of "road trip", admire the scenery as you go, and are willing to sit back and enjoy the journey (no matter how long it takes to get there!), then this will surely add to your experience of our wild Mongolia trip.

Driving times will vary and all the times listed in the itinerary are approximate and subject to road conditions (where there is one!) and weather. Since we have our own vehicles, it might be possible to make stops along the way for photos, meals, or chatting with locals, but we must aim to reach our destinations before sunset, so please understand that sometimes long breaks may not be possible.
