Any tours with all private hotels? No yurts. Private bathrooms and private rooms

Unfortunately, we do not currently have any group departures to these destinations that offer hotel only accommodation throughout. All available itineraries include at least one yurt or camp stay as part of the experience.

Is this a jeep tour? Why is it for 15+? Is part of it a horse ride tracking?

The main mode of transportation for this trip will be a private vehicle that accommodates all passengers booked. The minimum age requirement is 15 years and above. This is set due to the activities and physical demands of the itinerary, which may not be suitable for younger travellers. Please note that horse riding is not included in this trip.

This was such an incredible trip! Our guide, Jay, was incredible - so knowledgable, prepared, personable, and funny. Our group was wonderful, and every day brought new and interesting sites and experiences. Definitely take advantage of the optional activities at each spot! My only critique is that the packing list stated that women should cover knees and shoulders, and I ended up lugging around a lot of pants and long sleeved shirts that I never wore - shorts and tank tops are the norm everywhere we went except for people shielding themselves from the sun. Otherwise, it was everything I wanted from the trip and more.Show more
