What are your group size?

Our group trips range for 5 – 10 travelers and custom trips can be arranged for a single traveler or more.

Accommodations

The accommodation that we use range from alpine tents to luxury hotels. We choose accommodations based on their location, ambiance, facilities, environmental sensitivity, and above all a high standard of safety, hygiene and service. More often than not they are best available in each location.

Transportation

From SUVs to two humped Bactrian camels, from modern buses to traditional yak carts, wherever possible we use alternative transport options to enable you to experience some real adventures in the country of nomads.

In the capital city, we often use full size and mini-buses (depending on the group size) and other suitable vehicles, which are made in Japan or Korea. In the countryside, we use 4WD vehicles, most frequently 4×4 Japanese vans such as Mitsubishi Delica but also Russian vans and modern SUVs such as Toyota Landcruiser. SUVs have a capacity of 4-5 passengers with luggage. Minivans have a capacity of 5-6 people with luggage. All vehicles used in our tours are insured and carefully prepared before each departure. Our drivers are also good mechanics, have many years of experience for driving through unmarked, unpaved bumpy roads in the countryside.

Food and beverage

We provide variety of Mongolian, Western and Asian foods and beverages during our tours. In Ulaanbaatar, our clients can dine in number of restaurants serving Indian, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, English, French, German, Russian, Latin American and of course Mongolian cuisines. During your stay in ger camps, they will provide meals. Sometimes because of remote location, some camps offer not enough choices of meals, but basically those are tasty and nutritious.

Different kind of meat (beef, mutton, chicken, soybean mostly) with noodles, different kind of rice and various vegetables will be typical ingredients of any meal. Cream, vegetable and clear soups will be served during the day trek. Our experienced Mongolian field cooks prepare western and Mongolian traditional dishes in rustic conditions of countryside and serve our clients the most comfortable and attractive atmosphere.

Sharing meals with nomads, having meals at non touristic local restaurants are part of our clients’ experience. Fresh milk, yogurt, cheese and meat will be bought at nomadic families when available. That is always available to have and taste traditional dairy products when visiting a nomad family. Bottles of mineral water are available to buy at shops, food markets and kiosks in central towns, villages and Ger camps in countryside.

What is Mongolian currency?

The local currency is called the Tugrug (₮). As of July 2025, the exchange rate is about 3596 Tugrugs to the USD. The preferred foreign currency for exchange purposes is USD or Euro, but Pounds Sterling, Russian Rubles, and Chinese RMB can also be exchanged in many places in Ulaanbaatar. If you bring US dollars, make sure the notes were printed after 1996 (the large heads rather than the small ones). 50 dollar and 100 dollar notes will get a better exchange rate than smaller notes. Some exchange facilities are open 24/7. We recommend changing money only in banks, hotels, and exchange facilities. Credit cards are widely accepted in Ulaanbaatar but the countryside is cash-based society.
