Travel and Accommodations
We urge you to make your travel arrangements as early as possible in order to get the best fares. Please send us a copy of your airline itinerary when it is set, so we can help with arrangements for picking you up at the airport. You will be met at the airport by our staff, escorted through customs, and transferred to your hotel.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is strongly suggested for all of our international kayaking trips. We have included a brochure for travel insurance through a company that we have found to be excellent. When traveling in remote places such as Mongolia, this insurance is a sound investment.
Travel Documents
A passport which is signed and valid for more than six months after our return from Mongolia for our stay is required. Please make sure that your passport returned to you with plenty of time to spare before our trips departure. Plan for the process to take 3-4 weeks unless expedited at an extra cost.
Health and Fitness
Our trip is one that any reasonably fit person can enjoy. If you have never paddled a kayak before, you should try it at a local outfitter or retailer. We will provide instruction appropriate to the skill levels represented in our group once we gather in Mongolia. Each participant should be capable of paddling for approximately 6-8 hours each day with land breaks every hour or two. Please complete the enclosed personal medical form. No specific vaccinations are legally required to enter Mongolia. Please check with your local clinic and doctor for current inoculation requirements and other health recommendations. If you require inoculations that need updating, we recommend starting early for maximum comfort.
Weather
Temperatures will range from 45-75 degrees F. Rain is possible and you should be prepared for windy conditions on some days.
