The cost depends on how many people — such as your family or friends — will be coming with you. Check the rate that matches the size of your group.

What Are Standard Ger Camps?

Standard Ger Camps are like hotels, but instead of rooms, you sleep in a Ger. These camps are usually near famous places. A Standard Ger has 2 to 4 single beds, a small table, a stove to keep warm. And sometimes a a shelf or a small sink. There is no bathroom inside the ger. You will use clean toilets and hot showers in another building nearby.
