Participants are responsible for understanding the requirements of the trip and for selecting a trip with the assistance of any of our overseas agents or Nomadic Journeys consultant appropriate to their interest and ability. Participants with medical problems or special dietary needs are responsible for informing Nomadic Journeys of these issues well in advance. For the protection of all participants, the trip leader reserves the right to prevent anyone from a trip who displays insufficient ability, or whose behavior endangers the safety of other participants. No refund will be made to a participant who is rejected for any such reason, or who is unwilling or unable to complete a tour. Participants are responsible for arranging travel to and from the trip’s meeting point, for carrying valid travel documents, and for obtaining immunizations appropriate to the destination. Nomadic Journeys is a Mongolian fully licensed tour operator and our trips, with few exceptions, have a meeting point in Mongolia where Nomadic Journeys’ services start. Participants are required to have adequate health and accident insurance, which is current and includes, if applicable, international coverage for riding and other sporting activities. In addition, participants wishing to horse ride a more than just slow and casually should inform Nomadic Journeys and purchase a local coverage for emergency medical evacuation, which can be added to your bill for only USD 45 per person for one month coverage in Mongolia.
