Itinerary

  MS2S 2008 Itinerary

The schedule of each participant will vary depending on their choice of travel package and from where they arrive from.

This itinerary may be changed without advanced notice should scheduled flights, chartered flights or unsuitable weather conditions or other Force Majeure cases arise. The means of transport may also be changed should it be necessary to reach destinations on time and as comfortably as possible. We shall do all that is in our power to respect the schedule. However, what makes Mongolia so appealing is that Nature still rules over people and we are committed to ensure your security first.
