The Ultimate Mongolia Tour Package

Essential Packing List for Your Trek

Documents:

• Passport – We require a copy of your passport before your arrival in Mongolia. This is necessary for obtaining border area permits, which we prepare in advance, and for booking domestic flights.

Sleeping Gear:

• Sleeping bag – You will need a warm, four-season sleeping bag rated for at least -10°C (15°F) or below. This temperature rating is a guideline, as warmth depends on individual sensitivity to cold;
• Sleeping mat – Roll mats are provided on the trek. However, for greater comfort and warmth, we recommend bringing a Therm-a-Rest-style mattress. Please let us know if you will bring your own, otherwise, we can provide one if needed.

Footwear:

• Waterproof, well-worn-in walking boots – Comfortable, high-quality footwear is essential. Ensure your boots are well broken-in and lightweight;
• Ankle support and waterproof material are recommended, but if you already have comfortable boots with good grip on rocks, you don’t need to buy new ones.
