Mongolia is a
developing country in terms of infrastructure;
delays or changes in the itinerary are possible, and
indeed likely. Accommodations are comfortable and
clean and include the ebst hotels where available
and possible in Ulaan Baatar and high quality tents
in other areas. On days spent trekking on horseback
or four wheel drive, please note that no hot showers
will be available until you get back to your base
camp or hotel. There is greater diversity of food
choices nowadays in Mongolia; however, meals are
typically meat-based. We can make special
accommodation for vegetarians although food choices
would typically revolve around pasta and/or rice. We
are able to source for fish when at base camps
closer to Lake Khuvsgul (Moren).
Transportation is by bus and 4-wheel drive vehicle;
most
roads are unpaved and are very bumpy and dusty.
It is very important that you contact us with
any special needs such as dietary or medical
restrictions as soon as possible so that every
effort can be made to accommodate special needs.
However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the
client, in conjunction with their health care
provider, if necessary, to determine whether their
needs can be met sufficiently to allow a safe and
comfortable journey.
Please note that all scheduled flights originate in
Ulaanbaatar.
Therefore, to fly from one destination within
Mongolia to another,
you will always return to Ulaanbaatar first. Also,
it is not possible to arrive in Ulaanbaatar and
connect with another flight on the same day.
Therefore, you must overnight in Ulaanbaatar for at
least one night before flying to another
destination. Scheduled flights to the various
destinations in the countryside do not operate
everyday, and sometimes only once or twice per week.
Therefore, the number of days spent in a destination
may be dictated by the flight schedule.
All itineraries should be taken as an approximate
schedule of events although every attempt will be
made to adhere to the given schedule. Itineraries
are subject to change due to weather, airline
schedule changes, road conditions, and other reasons
beyond our
control. When changes occur in routing or
activities, we do our
best to provide the best alternatives possible to
accommodate all of our clients. |
