A nature lover’s paradise.

FOOD AT CAMP – Meals are typical Mongolia fried noodle with meat/potatoes or rice meat / vegetarian options. Everyone quite happy in 2013/2014/2015/2016/2017/2018/2019/2023/2024 with food choices as we always hire extra experienced cooks for the group. Hot water will be available.

Showers & Toilets are at camp. Over 15 gers (4 per ger) with shower outside. First come first serve in registration. But don't expect too much from the shower pressure as with a group size the pressure is small but good to rinse yourself off. Always fun!

Electricity - NOT - Only 1 electric socket in "some" gers and wasn’t working last time so expect the worse. The electric plug from a solar charger is used for the main fridge to keep meat cold so recommend bring your own solar chargers if you need. Two hole round plug. Leave your computers at home. Suggest bring power banks for charging your gps watch if believe it wont last 3 days. Most participants bring a mini solar charger.

Telephone reception terrible. Better so you can socialize and not do business. It is possible to purchase phone cards in UB, Mongolia, but patchy reception at best and not really good for countryside or outside of UB. Can wait until back in UB to upload your pics!!

TRANSPORTATION

We need to know how many of you need picking up in the city of UB as some of you are from cities around the world and we want to make sure all of you are looked after as we haven't lost anyone yet, but sometimes a flight is delayed and we have to arrange special driver so please email your flight itinerary before May 31 so we know how many buses to arrange from UB official hotel and how many need to go on Monday afternoon.

Insurance -  Organizer provides 3rd party insurance for event only. Participants should purchase their own personal insurance to cover hospital medical coverage and evacuation if needed.

Medical - As this event involves going into the mountains we recommend all participants to have gone to a medical checkup before the event to make sure you are physically fit enough to handle this kind of physical challenge.
