Our Commitment
Gobiin Ogloo are committed to ensuring the safe and exciting
journey of each and every tourist, while also caring about the
preservation of Mongolia's eco-system and it's precious flora
and fauna. Before each tour we take great care in listening what
the client wants and we endeavour to do everything in our power
to ensure that each and every tour is a happy and enjoyable experience.
Before each tour, we carefully look at each itinerary and carefully
select each camping spot along the route to ensure the tourist
has maximum safety while still enjoying the beautiful landscape
that Mongolia has to offer.
Our tour guides are trained in first-aid procedures and know
what to do in case of an emergency. They know how to act under
pressure and always have the health and safety of the tourist
as their first priority. We have fist aid kits available for usage.
In the event of serious injury or illness, we will evacuate that
person and make sure that the person receives medical attention.
The tour guides are knowledgeable in Mongolian history and culture,
so that they can give you information on sites, events and general
information on Mongolia. We employ local guides in each specific
area as they are knowledgeable about the best routs and attractions
within the region. All the equipment (including tents, saddles
etc) used on the tour are tested for safety and comfort before
the trip.
All our meals are prepared using fresh and healthy ingredients.
Some dishes are prepared by local herdsmen who use traditional
nomadic methods to prepare the food. Although you may not be used
to this type of food, previous tourists have said the meals are
very tasty and delicious.
The vehicles that we use are tested for safety and reliability
so that you will be able to have a comfortable journey. We use
Russian furgons and land cruisers. Our drivers have many years
experience driving on Mongolian roads and are also able mechanics
who are able to repair most breakdowns. Strict road rules apply
for the duration of the journey. Our drivers stop at regular intervals
so you can rest and relax, and at certain points bring you to
local guanz (restaurants) so that you won't get too hungry. Each
vehicle is also fitted with seat belts.
As evidence of our commitment to eco-tourism, we are involved
in the PATA Green Leaf program. As a member, Gobiin Ogloo has
an important commitment to conduct activities based on the principles
of PATA's "Code for Environmentally Responsible Tourism."
We ensure
We support local initiatives and hire local guides to support
the local economy. We are helping rebuild the lives of local herdsmen.
Mongolia experience a dzud (a bizzard in which temperatures dropped
below -40) and as a result countless livestock died which proved
to be a devastating blow to the local herdsmen. We do our best
to support them and have hired them as guides. Even though they
may have had past tragedies, you will be delighted and charmed
by their genuine hospitality when you visit them in their gers.
We are glad you have decided to visit Mongolia and are delighted
you have picked Gobiin Ogloo to be with you in Mongolia. We hope
to see you soon and to make your journey a magical and memorable
experience.
