Delays

We are not responsible for any additional charges incurred arising from the delay or extension of a trip due to weather, equipment failure, illness, or other causes beyond our control. No refunds can be made for any unused services or accommodations on the trip.

We are not responsible for the change of flight shuttle of national or international air companies. Flights are often delayed or cancelled.

Accommodation

In Ulaanbaatar you will be accommodated in a comfortable hotel. The hotel is centrally located, in walking distances from shops and museums.

While in the countryside, depending on the trip you choose, you will overnight in Ger Camps or Tented Camp.

Gers from Ger Camp are the traditional felt tents of nomadic herders. Each ger is furnished with a wood stove and beautifully painted furniture such as beds, a table and stools. Gers are based on double occupancy. Each ger camp has its restaurant, western style toilet and hot water showers. Most visitors find their stay in gers, which provide an authentic taste of Mongolian culture and adventure, their most enjoyable experience in Mongolia.

Tented Camp is a camp build on a nice spot. The travellers will sleep in Western style tents. We will however do our best to offer you the best available service. We pride ourselves on the level of comfort we provide while camping in these remote areas, but camping is not for everyone. It is important to remain open-minded and physically willing.

Remark

Mongolia is a developing country in terms of infrastructure. The standard of the roads is very low, with no tarmac outside the capital. As a result be prepared for bumpy and dusty rides.

Travelling in a seldom-explored country, with very little infrastructure requires flexibility, tolerance, a spirit of adventure and respect and understanding for cultural differences. The trip itinerary is subject to changes due to weather, trail conditions, government restrictions, or other reasons beyond our control. We will however do every attempt to adhere to the given schedule.

Due to the recent climate change Mongolian rivers tend to have less and less water. Heavy rains on the other hand can bring the water level of river to critical point. We are not responsible for the navigability of the river. If at the time of booking, the river sounds navigable, it might be different when you kayak or canoeing trip starts. Before leaving on your kayak or canoeing tour, we will check the navigability of the rivers. If the river you planned to navigate has critical water levels, we will allow you to change your tour.

Part of some rivers will not be accessible by a vehicle. Expect to spend a night in a Mongolian family while the vehicle with all your personal belongings will reach you only next day. You'll most probably sleep on the ground, covered by a deel (Mongolian traditional dress).

Visa Requirements

You will need a passport with at least 6 months remaining validity, together with a Mongolian visa. The rates for the visa vary depending on your nationality.

It was possible to obtain visas on arrival at Ulaanbaatar airport, but it is not the case any more. At the time of writing citizens of the Unites States of America do not need a visa. Please contact a Mongolian embassy to confirm.
