Is there WiFi, electricity and a shower in the gers we stay in?

Electricity available at ger camps. For local families, they use a solar panel to generate 12V only for lighting.

As I'm a solo traveler, would like to know if there are already other people booked on this tour because if I end up being the only traveler on this tour, I cannot afford to pay the solo traveler rate (my budget is only $885). I will only book the tour if I know for sure that there will be others joining as well.

For your information, we don't have any other booking for your interested tour and date. We have following 2 tours guaranteed to operate: Starting on Sep 07: Essence of Mongolia 5 days, 2 clients booked, price USD1259 per person. Starting on Sep 11: Essence of Mongolia 4 days, booked with 2 clients, price USD889 per person

I'm interested in this trip as it looks like it covers a lot without excessive driving daily. What day would have the longest drive, and how long would that drive be? Would there be time with the family to assist with whatever tasks they need to accomplish? Would love to partake in whatever needs to be done.

We have following similar tour available to join (currently booked by 2clients, starting on 11 September. Essence of Mongolia - 4 Days For your interested tour and departure we can operate private tour, but no join tour availabe at this time.

What's the difference between a private double room and one shared with two other people? What are the yurt rooms like, and are the spaces separate or are they all in the same room?

Shinee was a fantastic driver, guide, translator, and traveling companion. The tour was well-paced and we saw everything we needed to see while being mindful of my short travel time (flight constraints). We stayed with 2 local families and the experiences were amazing- highly focused on cultural immersion and seeing how local people live. Did not feel touristy at all. Note to future guests: the toilet situation in the country is mostly outhouses so prepare accordingly!Show more

I can't recommend enough to book your visit with Tour Mongolia! My guide, Mendee and our driver, Muugi were super welcoming, funny, and very accommodating. Muugi is a great driver, even a snowstorm can't stop him! Mendee is knowledgeable, shares interesting insights from Mongolian history & culture. We had discussions about many topics, never a dull moment! I loved staying at the Nomadic families, they were welcoming and helped me survive the cold. I'm really grateful for the amazing time I had in Mongolia! Bayarlala!Show more
