Transfers operated on Mondays are subsidized and shared with staff. Transfer times are variable but usually departs 09-11.00 and returns after lunch. You can at all times order a private transfer at any time suitable to you.

The entire drive from Ulaanbaatar to Jalman Meadows with a 4WD vehicle is 3 hours and with a bus 3,5 hours. The first hour consists of driving on the tarmac road towards Baganuur. First we drive out of the cityscape, which gradually become treeless steppes. After one hour, we switch to jeep tracks and drive for an hour through a steppe valley devoid of any telegraph poles inhabited by numerous herdsmen with their livestock. These folks are partly the people living at Jalman Meadows in the winter. The last hour is divided crossing the Zamtiin Davaa Ridge, which is driving through patches of Larch and Birch forests and then up the Tuul River Valley for the last half hour.

The camp has a maximum capacity of 20 guests' in double occupancy gers and vehicles are parked away from the camp.

The entire ger camp is fully collapsible, and do not have shower nor WC blocks. The toilets are long drop style allowing for natural decomposition. Showers can be organized in the outdoors with hot water by portable showers and a shower tent that is provided.

All trash is separated. The camp can be relocated leaving no more impact on the area than a herdsman family would. Solar panels and windmills generate some electricity for refrigerator and kitchen use. Jalman Meadows Ger Camp is indeed a fully collapsible hotel.
