    Generally, as previously stated, if you are good human that’s flexible – then there should be no issues for you to enjoy your Mongolia adventure! However, if you require additional assistance (beyond your guide), we do recognize that there are times that you may feel its necessary to reach out to us for clarification (during your trip), then by all means, we encourage folks to communicate with us so that we can assist.

    Ger to Ger gives notice that some services provided in connection with its itineraries, including transportation, hotel accommodations, restaurants, and other services, are purchased from various independent suppliers who are not affiliated with Ger to Ger in any way. Although it endeavors to choose the best suppliers available, Ger to Ger has no right to control their operations and therefore makes these travel arrangements upon the express condition that Ger to Ger, and its own agents and employees, shall not be liable for any delay, mishap, inconvenience, expense, irregularity, bodily injury or death to person, or damage to property occasioned through the conduct or default of any company or individual engaged in providing these services.

    Ger to Ger shall not be liable for: (a) expenses recovering belongings left behind/lost/stolen on a trip nor belongings that have been damaged during a trip, (b) bodily injury or property damage for any reason, including but not limited to acts of God, weather, quarantines, strikes, civil disturbance, theft, default, detention, annoyance, changes in government regulations, terrorism, war, or failure of conveyance to arrive or depart as scheduled, etc., over which it (Ger to Ger) has no control.

    Ger to Ger reserves the right to take photographic or film records of any of our trips, and may use any such records for promotional and/or commercial purposes.

    Ger to Ger reserves the right to decline to accept or to restrain from further participation any person it judges to be incapable of meeting the rigors and requirements of participating in the activities, or any person whose unethical actions and/or deportment impede trip operation or the rights, welfare, or enjoyment of other trip members. A refund based on the cost of unused land services is the limit of Ger to GER’s responsibility in such a case. That refund will only be issued after deducting any/all associated costs in transporting the given unruly traveler back to Ulaanbaatar once a “denial of service” has been formally decided by GER to GER’s Administration… in cases of unruly travelers, GER to GER’s “Abusive Karen Policy” goes into force.

    Trip Member’s Responsibility
    Trip members have the responsibility to select a trip appropriate to their abilities and interests. We are also happy to discuss the trip with you. Trip members are held responsible for being in sufficient good health to undertake the trip. Trip members are responsible for preparing for the trip by studying the itinerary and pre-departure information that has been produced by Ger to Ger that is available via its website, as well as for bringing the appropriate clothing and equipment as advised therein.

    By submitting this booking form, you acknowledge and willfully accept that you are entering into a legal agreement, and that you have carefully read and fully understand the contents and legal ramifications of the following: 

    1. Any/all the policies as stated on this webpage and within GER to GER’s website and/or by GER to GER administrators (verbally and/or written).

    2. Any/all information provided within GER to GER’s website e.g., cancellation and refund policies, limitation of liability, etc. 

    3. You understand this is a legally binding and enforceable agreement, and you are “checking the box” at the end as well as submitting this booking form at your own free will. 

    4. You agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in force.

    Remember you are 100% responsible for choosing the correct itinerary in accordance with your capacity, and in accordance with our online info and terms/conditions.

    After making a deposit, if you choose to change your trip within GER to GER from one itinerary to another – we’ll assist and recalculate accordingly. However, if you change companies after making a deposit and/or payment – then our cancellation policy applies and advanced deposits are non-refundable.

    Click here: Terms, Conditions, Notes

    Remember you must prepare properly – clothing, sleeping bag, boots, sandals, first-aid kit, medicines (e.g. stomach, headache, pain-killer, and so on), etc.; we do rent sleeping bags but you must email us and confirm if we have any available.

    Remember that you are 100% responsible for securing your trip booking via advance deposits – kindly note that bookings are NOT confirmed nor secured till the 30% deposit is successfully received and you’ve obtained a confirmation email from GER to GER.

    How much effort you responsibly invest into your own preparations will directly impact the quality of your overall experience(s) – just as you are responsible for your personal own belongings – you are indeed responsible for your own learning and how you apply that learning with everyone around you, hence “responsible travel” as you are completely responsible for your own experiences.

    At GER to GER – we provide the online learning resources, nomadic trails and the great outdoors, the nomadic guides that will always be with you (health/safety), the accommodations with the nomadic families (but best you bring your own sleeping bag!), three hearty nomadic-meals a day and the drinks (water and tea)… while everything else is up to you, as you will shape your own nomadic adventure and experiences via your own endeavors – hence this isn’t a standard tour but rather a REAL nomadic lifestyle adventure.

    Good luck on your learning and future nomadic endeavors!

    Remember you are 100% responsible to check and prepare your financials (deposits and final payments) in advance – cash, credit cards, etc., prior to arriving and starting your tour or nomadic adventure. 

    Kindly note that GER to GER will NO LONGER assist nor cover irresponsible travelers’ trip costs – “if full payment(s) are not received prior to trip departure date, you will not travel on GER to GER”… so please properly prepared in advance – thank you!
