We are proud to announce that starting this year of 2012 we are started to make our own organic vegetarian meals, serving in our 'Princes' tourist camp.
Nobody travels to Mongolia for the food, but Ulaanbaatar has a good range of Western, Asian and Mongolian options. No other city this side of Beijing has close to a comparable selection. Even better, meals here are quite reasonable. You can get perfectly reasonable pizza for 3-10 USD, even a night out at a fancy French cafe shouldn't pass $20. Consider splurging on a couple good meals here, especially if headed out for a long trek into the country.We are proud to announce that starting this year of 2012 we are started to make our own organic vegetarian meals, serving in our 'Princes' tourist camp.

Eagle valley, Gurvan Saikhan National Park (Omnogobi) Bayanzag (Omnogobi) Saksaul forest only exist in central Asia and is an important vegetation feature in Mongolia. One quarter of Mongolia’s forested area is covered by this woody shrub. Especially in areas of desert and semi-desert, Saksaul forests protect the soils from erosion, provide diverse habitats for animals, fodder for wildlife and livestock and firewood for people. In the Gobi, saksaul occurs almost exclusively in pure stands, it rarely occurs together with salt-cedar. It is effective against erosion because it sends out horizontal roots in addition to very deep roots to reach the underground water. Princess Temple, Gunj Sum (Khan Khentii Strictly Protected Area) The temple is located in a lovely forest close to the Baruun Bayan River. Nowadays the main temple and most of the surrounding walls remains. |
