Mobile Ger Camp In Bulgan
Brief Introduction
Gurvanbulag – Mobile Ger camp (MG camp) established in 2008 at the initiative of local community and has been actively operated since May of 2009 with the management contribution and financial support of AATMONGOLIA Group.
The MG camp is located in the central region of Mongolia where forest mountain, rolling steppe and Gobi sand dunes are found in one place. This unique area belongs to buffer zone of KhognoKhan Mountain Nature Reserve.
The local community, called Gurvanbulag owns the MG camp and a trained team selected out of the community members runs the business. Since the small scale community based accommodation service is made by the local herders' community, it exists together with local families' Gers and when they move to another pasture then it certainly moves. By combining traditional and modern technologies, the MG camp operates in environmentally friendly & culturally respective ways.
Because of the local people aim to generate extra income as relying and using own resources and advantages, an every member of the community makes his/her best efforts when serving guests at the camp. Staying in the MG camp offers a great opportunity to see, experience and learn the nomadic culture more in depth while roaming in authentic life. The community members provide ecological fresh meat, milk and dairy products to the camp in order to prepare and offer Mongolian traditional tasty food and tea.
Besides having the nomad cultural experiences all guests can enjoy active holidays as trekking to sand dunes, riding Mongolian horses through the wide open valley and traveling with ox cart to other natural and cultural attractions around the community place.
