Why travel with us

Mongolia has few roads. Our drivers know the tracks.

Most of the country is off the paved network, so the driver and guide matter more here than almost anywhere. Ours were born in the regions they drive.

Pickup from your hotel or the airport

We collect you at Chinggis Khaan International Airport or your Ulaanbaatar hotel, in Land Cruisers or the classic UAZ "Furgon" van.

Groups of 2 to 8 people

One vehicle, one guide, one driver. Small enough to be welcomed into a herding family's ger for airag and tea.

English-speaking local guides

Guides who can explain the deel you are handed, why you never step on a ger's threshold, and what the throat singers are doing.

Tours
