Travel Insurance: All travelers are strictly required to secure comprehensive travel insurance before arriving. Travel insurance is not included in the tour package price.
Liability Waiver: Panda Travel shall not assume liability for any personal injuries, accidents, or medical emergencies that occur during the tour, particularly during high-risk activities like horseback or camel riding. Travelers must strictly follow all safety briefings and instructions provided by the tour guide.
Itinerary Changes: The planned itinerary is highly subject to adjustment based on unpredictable weather conditions, natural factors, or unavoidable road blockages.
Flight Schedules & Start/End Times:
Early Arrival: If your flight lands early in the morning, the tour can commence as early as 05:00 AM.
Afternoon/Late Arrival: If your flight lands in the afternoon or evening, you will spend the night in Ulaanbaatar, and the tour will officially depart the following morning at 08:00 AM.
Tour Conclusion: The tour wraps up to match your departure flight, typically arriving back in Ulaanbaatar between 15:00 and 17:00 on the final day.
Delays & Scheduling: Daily schedules and arrival times at camps may shift or run late due to extended meal times, unpredictable road conditions, and frequent rest or restroom stops along the remote routes.
Gobi Desert/Remote Area Power & Water Constraints: Unlike central regions, infrastructure in the southern Gobi and deep wilderness zones is limited. Tourist camps often operate on generators and local water reserves, meaning electricity and hot water will only be available during designated hours (e.g., between 18:00 and 22:00).
Non-Refundable Cancellations on the Trail: No refunds or price adjustments will be issued if a traveler decides to cancel, shorten, or alter any part of the tour after the journey has already commenced.
