FAQ
Is an English-speaking guide included?
Yes. The reference tour includes an English-speaking local guide and a private air-conditioned vehicle with driver for scheduled road transfers and sightseeing.
Where does the tour begin and end?
The tour begins with pickup in Hohhot and ends with a scheduled transfer to Ordos Airport.
Can we attend the Naadam Festival?
It may be possible if your travel dates coincide with a confirmed event. Festival attendance is not part of the standard daily itinerary and must be arranged separately.
Which meals are included?
The detailed reference itinerary explicitly identifies the Day 6 desert barbecue dinner. It does not publish a complete daily meal-inclusion table. Breakfasts and other lunches or dinners must therefore be specified in your final confirmed quotation rather than assumed to be included.
Is the desert camping experience suitable for everyone?
Camping facilities may be simpler than hotel accommodation, and the desert may be windy or experience substantial temperature changes. Please confirm the campsite facilities and discuss any accessibility or accommodation needs before booking.
Are horseback riding, camel riding and desert off-road activities included?
The reference itinerary schedules all three experiences. Their operating arrangements, duration, safety requirements and suitability for individual travelers must be confirmed before departure.
How demanding is the Daqing Mountain hike?
The reference itinerary schedules approximately five hours of hiking. It may involve uneven ground and uphill walking. A shorter alternative would require an adjustment to the confirmed itinerary.
Will we stay in traditional Mongolian yurts?
Yes. The itinerary includes two nights in yurts on Huitengxile Grassland. The exact bedding, bathroom and other facilities must be confirmed with the selected camp.
When is the recommended travel season?
The referenced itinerary is designed for June to early October. Actual grassland conditions, temperatures and the availability of outdoor activities vary throughout the season.
Can this itinerary be customized?
Yes. This is a private tour. The hiking route, cultural activities, accommodation arrangements and travel schedule can be adjusted according to your interests and activity preferences.
