During our trip, our group leader and local guide take active steps to ensure our groups behave in an environmentally responsible manner, such as not leaving anything behind and not removing any plants. Combined with the local drivers, they are also always eager to share information about their country and culture, and help you break down barriers in your interactions with local people.
En route to and from Khovsgol Lake you will be welcomed into the lives and homes of local nomads for the night. You can help the families to prepare an authentic Mongolian barbeque before resting for the night in a traditional ‘ger’. Small gifts of tea towels, pens, sewing kits and the like are greatly appreciated.
Outside of Ulaan Bataar is the Lotus Children’s Home which provides housing and schooling for orphans from the city. Travellers may have the option to visit – one of the most worthwhile experiences of your whole trip and donations of children’s clothing, school supplies and medicines will be appropriately distributed.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
