Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Travel On tour company was fabulous in arranging my visit. The hotel was not yet open for the season and because it was a day trip we visited from 10am to 1pm but we had a great picnic, saw many birds and above all enjoyed the quiet. No other tourists so it was heaven.

Spent two nights here on a journey around Mongolia.
The experience whilst staying here were excellent - tracking Agale Big Horned sheep and storks, visiting a family that herded yaks, cattle and sheep, a wonderful scenic environment.
The ger was clean and comfortable. The washing and sanitary facilities OK. The food not so good.

Gün-Galuut Nature Reserve has a great diversity of ecosystems even though it is a comparatively small area. It is filled with high mountains, steppes, rivers, lakes and wetlands. As we looked around, it seemed that the steppes where meeting the sky with nothing in-between. Just a vastness, long empty spaces, with some undulating hills, spreading out as far as the eye could see. The vastness is impossible to capture on film although I kept trying. The earth was flat as far as the eye could see. And the colors - light green. Brown. Dark green. Shapes from shadow of clouds. Puffs of sand from cars. Stripes from multiple tracks. And then herds of sheep, goats, cattle, horses, camels. But never intermingled. And then we would see puffs of wool caught on the plants. Like flowers or cotton. This is Mongolia and we would experience this feeling of vastness everywhere we went.
We drove over to another part of the reserve where we went looking for Argali sheep. But we would not spot any. We did however watch a lone cow slowly make her way across the vast stones, swim across the stream and walk up the other side, almost right into us. The area was covered in irises, but because of the drought, they were not blooming. I could just imagine how gorgeous it must be when the floor was covered in purple.
But we didn’t stay for long, as we all wanted to watch, and photograph, the setting sun. We drove up the hill near the ger camp and settled in, most with tripods, and watched and waited. Below us were some streams with sheep, goats, horses and cows drinking their fill. On the other side was a snaking, s-curved road with three gers with red doors. And behind us was another mountain. There was an ovoo and it felt spiritual and quiet.
At one point a car drove down the s-shaped road, leaving a trail of dust. Cars spewing dust is a common sight here. But this was particularly ethereal. The sun was setting. The blue, blue sky was turning colors. And the dust just snaked its way around the bends. The three gers with their red doors stood out against the brown mist.
It was so quiet. Except it wasn’t. In the distance, we could hear a girl singing as she rode her horse to herd the other horses. We heard the horses neighing. The cows were snorting. Wonderful, wonderful sounds in the midst of the quiet.
Some of us stayed until the final moment and then quietly walked down the hill to our gers, settling in for our first night as nomads.
We woke up before the break of dawn, because just as we wanted to photograph the sunset, we also wanted to photograph the sunrise. As I stepped outside my ger to make my way to the bathrooms, I could see the sky beginning to turn pink and purple on the horizon. A few of us brave souls climbed up the mountain adjacent to our camp and settled in to watch nature at its best. It turns out that all of Mongolia is nature at its best. The light of the sun reflected in the water below, setting it on fire. And then the sky burst into flames as well, orange and red and glorious. And the sun cast our long shadows deep into the land.
We went back down the hill, cleaned up and went into breakfast. Breakfast was a buffet with soup and rice, and it filled our stomachs. We grabbed fresh camera batteries and were ready for our next adventure. We were being met by a park ranger, Ariunaa. She was wearing her ceremonial deel with her binoculars around her neck as she was our spotter, accompanying us to find Argali sheep. Our caravan set out over the steppes, driving here and there as she kept a look out. I have no idea how the drivers know where they are going or how to get back. There are no real roads. There are certainly no signs or landmarks. You can’t use the gers as they move. Obviously when one grows up here, they learn to identify each bush, but it is a mystery to me how.
And then suddenly we all stopped. Ariunaa lifted her binoculars and there they were – five Argali sheep, all with large circular horns, climbing the mountain. Argali are mountain sheep, but don’t confuse them with the ones we see in the US. These are much bigger, standing 3-4 feet tall and 4-7 feet long. There are 300 Argali sheep in these mountains and this year they had 60 babies. They were hard to see even with my telephoto lens as they were so far up the mountain. But one of the drivers took my cell phone and photographed the sheep through the binoculars. And thus I have my Argali sheep picture.
On the way back down we made an impromptu stop at a ger with an old Russian trailer next to it. It was a ger with an orange door. The truck was a yellow-green. There was a small white building with a blue roof. And a small wooden building with a red roof. And an orange jeep. Talk about color!

We had a business trip in UB and wanted to add a few days to visit the national parks near the city. Gun-Galuut and our stay at Steppe Nomad Ger Camp was excellent. The camp provides activities to take advantage of the area. We went bird-watching at the nearby ponds, rented horses, woke up early to spot wild argali sheep in the nearby valleys. Our guide arranged a visit with a local herding family and we had a wonderful time meeting the parents and 4 kids and getting a peak into their daily life. If we had had more time, we wanted to rent kayaks to explore the river - but alas, we were only there for an overnight before we had to return to UB and leave Mongolia.
The Steppe Nomad camp itself was a great experience and we would recommend you stay there as part of the visit. The staff was friendly and hardworking. When we arrived, the 2017 Great Mongolian Bike Race had its 4th stage ending up at the camp as well so the place was fully booked. It was exciting to meet mountain bikers from all around the world. The gers were full so were put in the luxury cabins up on the hill (a decadent treat from our ger stays at the other parks, because these rooms had their own bathroom and hot showers!). The rooms were very clean. Despite being completely maxed out, I found that Steppe Nomad handled the crowds with efficiency and professionalism on par with any resort. Dining went smoothly and the food was delicious.

Good 20-25 minutes off the main road, the reserve has ger, and new construction accommodations. In a reserve close to wildlife, river. Not many trees though. Gers need some upgrading and maintenance. Bathroom facilities were kept clean. Friendly hard working staff. Nice family manages it onsite. Recreation facilities available at reasonable prices. 2.5 hours by car from UB. Dining room is large, food can be average quality.

I visit Gun Galuut Nature Reserve to attend the annual "Mini Naadam Festival", and stayed at the Steppe Nomad Ger Camp. The trip was organised by Selena Travel of Ulaanbaatar. It is a trip that will remain etched forever in my memory. Mongolia is a fascinating country, both people and scenery/nature. If I have a chance to definitely return.

Spent two days and two nights at the main accommodation camp in the reserve. Nice gers to sleep in and good food. The surrounding nature is the main reason to come here though, and there are different activities to do during the days (for additional fees). We hiked the surroundings, paddled rubber boat on the nearby river, rode horses, fished, caught a glimpse of the wild Argali sheep, visited a nomad family, tried archery, went on a bird-watching tour, took a dip with the horses and were amazed by the exceptional view of the stars, Mars, Saturn, Milky way and distant satellites. The camp seemed very sustainable and cooperated with the nearby nomad families to preserve the culture and landscape.

Am reluctant to write this, but sadly doubt I will ever be able to return, it has not become too touristy, the food is excellent, and the location very special. If you are like me and happy to share your ger with the local harmless insects you will enjoy the ger. The bed is quite hard but very clean. The showers are very good ,hot water.a lot of wildlife, a good variety of bids, including red billed chough,Kentish plover,hoopoe,cranes ,demoiselle,white named and common. Herders passing with goats and sheep. If you prefer less insect friendly accomodation that is available. Would so much like to have spent longer there.
