note
FOOD AT CAMP – Meals are typical Mongolia fried noodle with meat / patatoes or rice meat / vegetarian options. Everyone quite happy previously with food choices as we always hire extra experienced cooks for group. Hot water will be available.
Showers & Toilets are at camp. But don’t expect too much from the shower facility. Only 1 electric socket in “some” gers and wasn’t working last time so expect the worse. Two hole round plug. Leave your computers at home.
Telephone reception terrible. Better so you can socialize and not do business. It is possible to purchase phone cards in UB, Mongolia.
