treat guests to a cheerful welcome, provide breakfast and dinner, a hot shower and inter-
net access from a computer terminal in the kitchen ger, which is also free for guests to
use. The toilet is in an outhouse, but is clean and of the sit-down variety. Ganbaatar and
Suvd can help you buy bus tickets to onward destinations. They also organise multiday
jeep tours and horse treks in the surrounding region.
Morin Jim GUEST GER$
( 9924 2980; www.horsetrails.mn ; ger T8000) The French owner of the excellent Morin
Jim Café has placed a handful of gers behind his restaurant. It was still pretty basic when
we visited, but there was a new two-storey shower block in the making which should in-
clude some extra rooms once finished. Management speak English. Horse treks arranged
here are professionally run and come highly recommended.
