Typical Itinerary
Your trip will start with pickup from the Chinggis Khan International Airport in Ulaanbaatar. Depending on the time of day, some city sightseeing may be possible including dinner in a local restaurant.
You will spend a night in a city hotel (included in package). The next morning after breakfast the convoy will start its journey from the city.
Depending on the trip package, it is either a journey traversing the scenic rugged steeps of the Mongolian countryside or hopping into a small plane to get to the rivers.
The journey by land in 4x4s will typically take a day or more depending on which river we are fishing at.
Fishing will commence if we arrive at the camp/cabin early. Otherwise fishing will begin the next morning.
Breakfast will be served at camp each morning followed by hot lunch by the river. There will also be tea breaks prepared at the rivers.
