Surprisingly near the Mongolian capital, Ulaanbaatar, is the southernmost reach of the boreal forest of Siberia, which extends uninterrupted all the way to Europe and across the circumpolar north. These southern reaches are in fact the world’s southernmost distribution of wolverine habitat. The Tuul River originates at Jalman Meadows in the Khan Khentii wilderness, an area devoid of people, which is three times the size of Yellowstone National Park in the USA. Within surprisingly short distances, we will experience some of the diverse landscapes of Mongolia and meet the nomadic people that call these landscapes home.

There are rafts at camp, and it is possible to raft the Tuul River from here. Frequenty we load the deflated rafts onto yak carts and trek upstream half a day and then raft back to camp. Horse riding is an integral feature of this camp. If you want to ride or hike, just order a picnic the day before and get lost in the hills for the day. There are also some mountain bikes at camp. Jalman Meadows is very popular with families as well. Our yak treks start out from here and we usually bring your luggage to your ger by yak cart.
