Amazing Experience - I had such a great time during this experience. Deegii was my excellent guide who I learned a lot about Mongolian culture from.

Do not hesitate to book. - "The service was excellent, with attentive staff and a welcoming atmosphere. The food was delicious, especially the local specialties. However, the room could use some updating, as the furnishings felt a bit outdated. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with good value for money."
