Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Breakfast and dinner are provided by the ger camp. Depending on the day’s travel itinerary, lunch will be served either at the camp or at a local roadside café.

Breakfast at the ger camps: Each camp is different. Some camps serve a buffet breakfast, while others provide a simple breakfast such as bread, eggs, sausages, jam, cheese, cereals, yougurt, some fruits, coffee, and tea.
Lunch and dinner: Meals are typically Mongolian-style dishes including meat (beef, mutton, or chicken), vegetables, pasta, rice, soup, salad, and more, as well as some desserts.
Vegetarian and vegan meals are available upon request. However, please inform us in advance when booking your tour.

In rural areas, instead of hotels, seasonal ger camps serve tourists.

What is a ger camp?

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. There is also a place to eat, and sometimes a small bar or game room.
Some camps have Ensuite Gers. These have a private bathroom inside the ger. If you want this type, please tell us. We can book it for you, but it costs extra. Please note that ensuite gers are not available at all tourist destinations, and some ger camps have only a few ensuite gers.

What Are Ger Guesthouses? ( Nomad’s extra ger)

Some nomadic families living in national parks or tourist areas run small businesses renting ger accommodations to backpackers. This gives you a chance to experience the real nomadic lifestyle up close.

These usually have 4–6 beds and are shared only with your group, not with others. Keep in mind, many nomadic families don’t have formal toilets at their summer homes. Instead, you’ll find simple toilet trenches, often screened on three sides. Also, most ger guesthouses may not have shower facilities, so be prepared for basic living conditions.

Hotels

In Ulaanbaatar, it is usually more cost-effective to book your hotel independently through Booking.com or similar websites and purchase the tour separately from a tour company. However, if you prefer, we can include hotel accommodation in your tour upon request.
