6. First Aid Kit: Basic first aid kit with essential items such as plasters, painkillers, antiseptic cream, etc.

9. Camera: Mongolia has some of the world's most breathtaking landscapes, so bring a camera to capture your memories.
10. Maps and Guidebooks: Maps and guidebooks will be helpful for navigating around Mongolia, especially if you plan to go off the beaten path.
11. Remember, this is just a basic packing list. Adjust it according to your needs and the specific activities you plan to do during your trip

d.      What kind of medications or medical supplies should I bring?
We suggest that you bring along the following extras for your own comfort and convenience: antibacterial ointment (e.g. Neosporin), antihistamines, anti-nausea medication, decongestants (Pseudoephedrine), anti-diarrheal medication (Loperamide), insect repellent containing DEET, hydrocortisone cream for itches, Ibuprofen or other pain-relievers, and sunscreen (30+ protection factor). Always pack enough prescription medications for the entirety of the trip

      e. What is the baggage weight limit in domestic flights?
Within Mongolia, baggage allowance is checked luggage weighing up to 15 kg per person. Baggage in excess of this amount on domestic flights will be charged approximately 1.5- 2 USD per kg, depending on destinations, which is collected by the airline at airport.

f.  How much spending money should I bring, and what is the best way to carry it?
Most expenses of your travel are taken care of within the package cost of the tour. However, this does not include personal expenses. Pick-pocketing can be a problem in Mongolia, so it is wise to keep money and valuables out of easy reach. A money belt to keep your passport and money close to your body—even under your clothes—is advisable.
