Accommodation
From a 4* hotel in Ulaanbaatar to a yurt beside a nomad family. Each tour mixes several kinds of stay, and its page lists the nights in each.
In the city
Hotels in Ulaanbaatar
In Ulaanbaatar you stay in central 4* hotels we work with, chosen for comfort and location.
- Twin or triple rooms, or a single room for a supplement
- Breakfast included
- Free fast Wi-Fi and TV
- 24-hour security
On our tours: all six, for 1 or 2 nights.
Comfort
Ger camps
The most comfortable way to stay in the countryside: traditional yurts, called gers in Mongolia, set up for travellers, with a restaurant and a separate building for washing.
- 2 to 5 single beds per yurt, with small tables and a stove
- Yurts are usually shared within your group; a few camps have yurts with double beds, subject to availability
- Showers, washbasins and toilets in a separate building
- A restaurant for breakfast and other meals
On our tours: all except Across the Orkhon Valley; Yurt Comfort stays in them almost every night.
Real nomad life
Guest yurts with nomad families
A night or more beside a nomad family is part of every tour, and the best way to see how herders live, with horses, yaks, sheep and goats roaming free around you.
Watch your hosts cook on the stove in the middle of their yurt. Meals are served there, or outside in good weather.
- 2 or 3 guest yurts beside the family's own
- 4 or 5 single beds and a traditional stove in each
- A shower tent nearby, with water heated on the stove
- Simpler than a ger camp, but closer to real nomad life
On our tours: all six; the 9-Day Express and the Winter tour spend 5 nights with families.
Close to nature
Camping
Mongolia is one of the few countries where you can still camp freely. Our adventure tours reach its most remote corners, with gear we choose carefully.
- Recent tents and gear that meet Western safety and quality standards, checked after every trip
- Thick self-inflating mattresses; bring your own sleeping bag
- A tent to yourself if you travel alone, at no extra cost: ask before you leave, subject to availability
- A large mess tent for meals, with tables and chairs for picnic lunches, except in remote places like Naiman Nuur, where pack horses carry the gear
- A shower tent, with water heated over the campfire
On our tours: Mini Gobi and Steppes and Across the Orkhon Valley, 6 nights each.
