[Other Preparations]
Baggage: Airline checked baggage is limited to one suitcase weighing 23kg per person.

Hat: In Mongolia, where the high altitude brings you close to the sky, a hat that can adequately block out the sun is essential.
Sunglasses: This is a country with strong UV rays. Please protect your eyes by wearing sunglasses.
Gloves: You must wear them to protect your hands while riding.
Footwear: Hiking boots or athletic shoes are suitable for the grasslands, while slippers are useful inside the ger camp.
Personal Toiletries: You must pack your own toiletries for the trip, such as a toothbrush, toothpaste, and soap. *While some ger camps provide towels, it is recommended to bring an extra one. Towels are not provided in nomadic gers. *Hair dryers are not provided.
Food: You can purchase Korean food, such as kimchi and cup noodles, in Mongolia. *However, if you are a traveler who thinks the meat-based Mongolian meals might not suit your taste, it is recommended to bring your own side dishes.
Currency Exchange: The exchange rate is better if you prepare large denominations, such as 50,000 won bills or 100 dollar bills. *A guide will assist you with currency exchange at the local airport in Mongolia upon arrival.
