Definitely a once in a lifetime experience, not as expected and not everything went according to plan, but still...
Definitely a once in a lifetime experience, not as expected and not everything went according to plan, but still memorable. In January it's the coldest month here so not everything is guaranteed to be opened or go smoothly with harsh weather conditions, thankful the car didn't break down, but we did get a leaking tire, my driver Ganaa was experienced in handling these kinds of situations so I was at ease. Due to the number of pax on this tour I did not get a tour guide but only a driver, so the experience may be different with a bigger group. Most of the time was spent on the road, no toilets in most areas so for ladies that is something to consider before you come, and no showers after you reach the villages and live in the Ger, obviously, this trip is to bring you out of your comfort zone. Despite the language barrier my host and driver took good care of me, not mandatory but I would recommend bringing gifts from your home country for the host family and whoever you might meet on the trip as a good gesture. Communication in advance and due diligence, it is important to ask or clarify before the trip starts any details that may be vague or missing on the itinerary, like telling them your arrival and departure flight time, or if you have intentions to buy certain souvenirs at certain locations. A minor detail just to point out on the itinerary, the 5 hours horse ride from the village to the summer camp won't be available due to the season, and the traveler would need some prior experience riding a horse. just thought that should have been stated more clearly. Lastly weather gear, for January certain area we went dropped as low as -43c, besides my footwear, everything else I wore was adequate, despite 3 layers of socks and Military leather boots I still had the risk of getting frostbite, so definitely let your guide or tour operator assess your winter gear if in doubt, and just buy locally if needed.Show more
