<p>At Ger camps, you&rsquo;ll stay in traditional felt-covered dwellings called Ger&mdash;meaning &ldquo;home&rdquo; in Mongolian. Each Ger is typically furnished with 2&ndash;4 single beds or a double bed, plus basic furniture. Most camps offer hot showers and flush toilets in shared facilities located a short walk from your Ger. Meals are served in on-site restaurants, featuring both Mongolian and Western cuisine.</p> <p>Some camps offer Ensuite Gers with private bathrooms. Electricity is supplied either by the state grid, or by generators, solar panels, or wind turbines, depending on location. In camps relying on alternative power sources, device charging is limited to shared areas&mdash;usually in the restaurant or common spaces&mdash;and available only during designated hours. Camps connected to the grid allow unlimited charging directly in your Ger.</p> <p>Wi-Fi is typically available in common areas, often powered by Starlink for strong connectivity. However, in remote regions with no mobile reception, internet access may be unavailable.</p>

<p>In cities and towns, guests can enjoy a wide range of familiar foods and drinks. At Ger camps, meals are prepared based on your booking and location&mdash;meats may include sheep, goat, camel, yak, horse, or cow, depending on the region. Mongolian livestock graze freely, making the meat naturally healthy and flavorful. Dietary requests (vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free, lactose intolerance etc.) must be submitted in writing during booking, as they cannot be arranged on arrival. Tea, water, and morning coffee (instant or brewed) are served; espresso drinks may cost extra. Camp bars offer alcoholic beverages, mineral water, soft drinks, and canned sodas for purchase.</p> <p><em>During Tsagaan Sar, nomadic families welcome guests with tables full of festive dishes. You&rsquo;ll enjoy buuz (steamed meat dumplings), dairy delicacies like aaruul, urum, and milk tea, plus fried pastries, breads, roasted meats, and potato salad with egg, pickled vegetables, and sausage slices.

<p>During our tours, overland travel is arranged using vehicles suited to group size and terrain. We use Japanese 4x4 off-road jeeps for up to 4 people total (including driver), larger jeeps for up to 5, travel vans for 6&ndash;7, and buses for up to 16. All vehicles are equipped with left-hand steering, in line with Mongolia&rsquo;s right-side driving regulations.</p> <p>Our drivers are responsible for maintaining daily cleanliness and tidiness of the vehicles, managing luggage loading, and ensuring water supplies are stocked. Any forgotten belongings are carefully returned to their owners by our team.</p>

<p>We recommend carrying Mongolian Tugrug (MNT) during your tour, as it is widely accepted at markets, shops, ger camp bars, and souvenir stalls. Debit and credit cards are generally usable in cities and towns and Ger camps but POS machines may be unreliable in remote areas. For convenience, it&rsquo;s best to carry both cash and cards. While prices are shown in foreign currency for reference, payments should be made in Tugrug, as foreign currencies are not commonly accepted.</p> <p>As a guide for the&nbsp;2026 season:<br /> - A handmade souvenir may cost around USD 7<br /> - A loaf of bread USD 1,5&nbsp;<br /> - A cashmere scarf USD 35<br /> - A 500 ml beer at a ger camp bar around USD 4</p>

<p>Our tours include optional riding experiences on horses, camels, or yaks, depending on the region and itinerary. When mounting, guests should approach the animal from the left side, place one foot in the stirrup and hold the reins securely, and sit balanced on the saddle or carpet. The reins are used to guide the animal&mdash;pulling left turns the head left, pulling right turns the head right,&nbsp; releasing allows free movement, and gently pulling inward signals the animal to stop.</p> <p>For safety and comfort, we kindly ask guests to avoid loud noises, waving scarves, or loose hats. Flip-flops and shorts are not recommended; closed shoes and long trousers are preferred. Please apply insect repellent and handle cameras or phones carefully, as sudden drops may startle the animal.</p>

<p>This tour takes place during Mongolia&rsquo;s winter, with dry cold, and often windy conditions especially in open steppe and mountain valleys. Days may be sunny, but temperatures drop sharply in the evenings. To stay comfortable, we recommend layered clothing, thermal base layers, insulated waterproof boots, windproof outerwear, warm socks, gloves, a hat, scarf, sunglasses, and sunscreen.</p> <p><strong>You&rsquo;ll find a full packing guide in our Mongolia Travel Guide section. Experienced travelers are welcome to follow their own winter setup.</strong></p> <p>During Tsagaan Sar, Mongolians proudly wear traditional Deel robes. If you&rsquo;ve had a chance to shop for one, we warmly encourage you to wear it, it&rsquo;s not required, but nomadic families deeply appreciate the gesture when guests dress like locals.</p> <p><em>As this is a festive cultural tour, we also suggest bringing small items from your home country&mdash;such as flags, pins, or travel stickers&mdash;which make thoughtful gifts and spark friendly exchanges during celebrations.</em></p> <p><!--{C}%3C!%2D%2DEndFragment%20%2D%2D%3E--></p>
