家庭旅遊旅館(Family Tour Guest House)

I stayed for over a week at Family Guesthouse and I'm happy I did so. It was my first time in a ger and overall I enjoyed the experience. It's a bit of a rough life, like living in a giant tent, but Ganaa (the owner) makes things as comfortable as possible. He's a friendly (and hardworking) person, and tries to help you with whatever you need. He even took me to the local Naadam festival (where he was participating in the archery contest) and gave me a 'dehl' (traditional Mongolian robe) to wear! Besides that we barbecued shish kebabs together one night, and later he helped me 'hitchhike' to Tsetserleg! I also ate breakfast and dinner there (lots of mutton!) every day. And there's a bathhouse, so you can take a hot shower. If it wasn't for the Naadam festival, I may not have stayed so long in Kharkhorin, but I can't say I regret it. It's a simple yet peaceful place –- real countryside-style. And if you decide to stay in Family Guesthouse I don't think you'll regret it either.
