      When using Yurt, how many people in one yurt? is that sleeping on the desert or in a bed? also is there like a camel ride here or what? what kind of bathroom will be used? is that just one night in the Yurt? what temp will that be for October 11 tour?

    • Steppe JourneysOperatorWritten August 2024

      In Yurt you sleep on a bed not on the floor. One yurt can be used for 2-6 people. If you are only two you will share with your friend only not with others. If you are a group of 3-6 people you will share all one yurt for the group. Temperature in October is around 15-20 C warm, nice weather not hot and sometimes it may rain but not heavy and long lasting rain, just a shower. Evening the temperature is about 5 or 6 C warm. You need light warm clothes also and raincoat or umbrella.

    I would like to book this tour however I am just worried about the flight from the UK as to which would be the best flight to get as it says on Day 1 to be picked up from the airport in the morning, how can I guarantee to get a flight that would arrive at that time or is it possible to arrive a day early and already be at the hotel. Could you please advise on the best option.
