🔹 Kindness is a powerful virtue that involves showing compassion, empathy, and understanding towards others without judgment or criticism.
🔹 Loaning someone your strength means providing support, encouragement, and assistance to someone in need, rather than focusing on their weaknesses or shortcomings.
🔹 It's about uplifting others and helping them overcome challenges without making them feel inadequate or inferior.
🔹 Kindness is a selfless act that can make a meaningful impact on someone's life and create a positive ripple effect in the world.
🔹 It's a reminder to be gentle and compassionate towards others, and to offer a helping hand without expecting anything in return.
🔸 It costs 0$ to be a nice person.

Major update to "Benefiting Locals" has been uploaded! Nothing communicates like 100s of photos & more to come!
Over the years - not many folks know how much we’ve sacrificed, with our teams, to assist over 200+ nomadic families and their rural communities e.g. renovating & equipping schools/kindergartens or helping nomads in need of healthcare & surgeries, and so much more! So it’s WELL OVERDUE to share a lot of case studies online - some have been uploaded and more are scheduled that will be highlighting all our endeavors ❤

CONFLICT RESOLUTION IS AN IMPORTANT SKILL... LESSON 1 😂👍
Written by Mr. Zanjan Fromer of GERtoGER.org Mongolia - NATGEO Geotourism Ambassador
Here’s my humble opinion based upon 24+ years of living and working among Mongols across Mongolia.
1. Traveling with Nomadic Families via Community Based Tourism
Straight to the point, Mongolia is an exceptional travel destination rich in lifestyles, geographic terrains and incredibly important contributions towards human history that requires “learning”, yes “learning”. Those that are experienced outback travelers (Alaskan bush, Australian outback, etc.) automatically, though only partially, qualify you to travel rurally with nomadic families - you will still require some training… take the aforementioned skills/experiences coupled with firsthand knowledge of working, traveling and living with remote cultures (expect the unexpected, compassion, allow for locals to change-up plans, go with the flow, etc.) is what is 100% necessary to have an incredibly authentic “Mongolian Experience”. Reason - it’s indeed who the Mongols are: Mongols are flexible with time/experiences, they love to modify plans on the go, they often wait till the last moment to get stuff done, they're hospitable, they take care of one another as a tribe, they don’t expect anyone to have expectations, they assume all travelers are like them - easy going, not judgmental, cooperatively overcoming challenges together, not overly demanding, able to take it easy without tons of entertainment to distract them, can calmly sip tea and chat for hours or just sit and enjoy the family environ, never really looking at their watches or staring at their iPhones, etc. Yes, traveling Mongolia is a complete break from our western/European lives of expectations, demands, standards, punctuality, etc. This sort of travel with nomadic families and its incredible cultural adventures, remote geographic terrains and “lifestyle learning by living it” should never be confused with Packaged Trips that are more about “entertainment travel”, punctuality, following the itinerary, etc.
2. Traveling Mongolia via Packaged Trips (Tour Operations)
If the aforementioned makes you nervous as you are really accustomed to ‘western-European’ standards of travel and you have tons of expectations that must be fulfilled (punctuality, activities, entertainment, distances, etc.)… then going on a “Packaged Trip” is the best thing to do when in Mongolia. Keep in mind that you pay for what you get and so do the locals… What does that mean? If an itinerary is super cheap, many days, covering incredible distances then most likely that operator isn’t “ethical” and people are not getting paid fairly, etc. It’s difficult to tell you exactly how to judge a company or itinerary and whether or not you are purchasing a “tourism sweat shop product” or not - however - I will give this sound advice. Ethical Packaged Trips in Mongolia will not be cheap, they will be fairly priced - the more expensive often means better vehicles, better guides, better camps, better food, and hopefully people are being paid fairly well too. Packaged Trips that are being sold exceptionally cheap require a little bit of research - how many days?, what’s included?, what level of services are being provided?, what accommodations are you using?, etc. Reason being - if you book a trekking trip and you are camping all the time without vehicle/animal support then that will be definitively cheaper than standard overland packaged trips (vehicles, fuel, camps, entertainment, etc.). Now keep in mind that Mongols love putting on a good show of hospitality - so when you are tired and exhausted - always be kind to your local Mongols as they are raised from childhood to always be of assistance until they physically are unable too. Yes, everyone gets weak, sick and tired on longer expeditions (clients, guides, drivers, etc.), hence, traveling in Mongolia you must travel with a “team mentality” and not too touristic like with high demands and expectations “everyone SERVE me”; remember, you are out there in remote locations and that’s just the reality so “take care” of each other. Being a good human in Mongolia will take you far and guarantees a successful experience regardless of the challenges - in most cases - Mongols will definitely treat you better than you expect when you show them some kindness.
Conclusions
Mongolia isn’t like other parts of Asia, USA nor Europe - it does require some knowledge and the willingness to learn flexibly on the go (don’t challenge people’s knowledge, etc., like as if you were on a western-European trip testing the quality of your guide, etc… these are locals who are “currently” in development and are indeed trying). I will definitively state that you will at times be required to be understanding as not everything will go as planned and that’s the beauty of ole style expeditions in developing countries - you expect the unexpected and go with the flow - and often it’s rewarding with very unique memories that will stay with you for years as it’s not the same as your “standard” trip nor vacation to Hawaii and/or across the EU… I highly encourage everyone to tone down your expectations, don’t be overly punctual/measure distances, but rather enjoy this rare moment in history - soon enough Mongolia will end up like every other destination on planet earth that’s been destroyEd by the tourism industry with the same boring format of tourism that everyone “expects”. That will be a sad day as Mongolia’s uniqueness to the global tourism industry is indeed its raw flavor of ole styled, locally adapted, genuine travel experiences and more - our learning “how to unlearn” - which is not at all common within our western/European sanitized approaches will be lost forever. Mongolia gives you the right amount of “mystery” which is the essence of “unlearning our standards” regardless if you choose to travel with nomadic families via community based tourism and/or fully packaged trips with tour operators (keep in mind that generally what people think is Mongolia's weakness is its incredible strength as it’s ole styled expeditions something not readily available around the world - EU, USA, etc.). Mongols have a saying “Ezen Hecheevel, Zaya Hecheen” translation “If the Master tries, Destiney shall try” - Mongols will definitely try and at times they will succeed and at other times we must meet them halfway and go with the flow; you will quickly see how the Mongols will start praising you as a “Good Guest”.

Also they made us (threatened) us to write them a letter stating that we cannot publicity defame them on social media, and since we had to leave the country at 7 am (now in 4 hours) we had no option but to do this. But I am going to contact everyone I know and narrate our disastrous ordeal with them.
Which kind of a humanitarian agency threatens its customers repeatedly that they will take us to the police just because we ask for a refund and we have complaints and then make a fake complaint (about a broken nail) against us because we dont speak Mongolian?
The filthiest people I have ever met in my life.
In reference to my post just below, Gertoger already posted about me and my partner on Friday Aug 17 between 3 pm and 5 pm. Please see their posts. If you cant find them, ask me for screenshots . I cant attach screenshots of this right away with this post but I will do so as soon as I have a computer.
Shocking because on Friday noon we just told them we want to come to UB because we have been facing many problems in our trip and hence meet them on Saturday in their office before we leave the country. But EVEN BEFORE we come to their office on Saturday, they already posted about us on their page talking about scam troll reviewers. JUST UNBELIEVABLE! And yes, they made us spend the whole evening at a police station in Ulaan Baatar tonight on basis of a fake complaint.
We just spent about 8 hours at the local police station in Ulaan Baatar because of this agency Gertoger.org and after 8 hours of utter harrassment, they threatened us to write them “an official apology” because the lady Ms Bayarsan at the agency filed a fake complaint against us for assault to her nails, and so we either had the option to stay in UB for a few days to deal with this fake complaint or continue our trip to China. And so we wrote this “official apology” just to close the matter and when I come on Facebook to check their page: this is what I find - It seems on Friday between 3 pm and 5 pm they had already made up their mind about us and wanted to harass as much as possible just because we wanted to talk to them about all the things they promised in our tour and which we didnt get at all.
VERY SHOCKED to see that even before we came to Ulaan Baatar to discuss with them about our trip, they post on their page information about us calling us scams. This just shows what kind of real scam they are. On Friday around noon, we had just made a call to them from our trip that we want to finish our trip one day earlier and we want to come to UB on Saturday to talk to them but since this post about us has already been posted on Friday afternoon, I think they already decided their minds about “troll reviews”. Such cowards.
