    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

    1. During the trip, it takes approximately 2-6 hours to drive (80-300km) from one next

    destination, depending on the road and weather conditions on each driving day. But it is not a nonstop drive! We can make short stops frequently everywhere along the road for photographs, toilets, stretch, and meet with local nomads.

    1. TRANSPORT: we will use the “470 Toyota Lexus” or “Land Cruiser 100 or 105” car types for your trip to Mongolia. Experienced drivers drive these cars and suit their selected routes.
    2. ACCOMMODATION: our accommodations are carefully chosen based on our research, our experience, and feedback from clients to provide the best combination of high-quality accommodations, affordability, and convenient location.
    3. WHAT IS MONGOLIAN YURT? Mongolian Yurt is a hotel that services customers with Gers instead of hotel rooms and is always located at the best viewing spot. It is the most beautiful accommodation for a countryside trip in Mongolia, consisting of 20-30 Gers. (Mongolian traditional Yurt) and restaurant and some entertainment facilities. Each Ger has 2-3 beds and is furnished with a table, chairs, and a wood stove.

    Modern toilet and hot shower facilities are separate houses. The restaurant mostly serves Western and Mongolian meals. Most visitors prefer to stay in Ger, which provides an authentic taste of Mongolian culture and adventure, which is their most enjoyable experience in Mongolia.

    1. FOOD: traditionally, Mongolians eat meat, dairy products, and vegetables such as onions, garlic, potatoes, carrots, cabbages, and turnips. Nomads in the countryside drink milk tea, fermented mare milk, and an alcohol of fermented and distilled cow milk. However, the Mongolian diet is quite Westernized, and during your stay in city restaurants and German camps, it consists of 3-4 courses (soup or salad. Main dish, dessert) and bottled water. Suppose you require a special meal due to religion. Regarding medical limitations and vegetarian foods, please inform us that arrangements can be made in advance.
