My friend and I did a 4 day tailored tour with Dauren in Ulgii. We stayed with an eagle hunter family, spent some time at the beautiful Lake Tolboo and enjoyed the idyllic town of Ulgii. Dauren is an excellent guide, very knowledgable as well as kind. He was attentive and looked after us well with a package which included the right amount of activities and time to enjoy our surroundings. We will certainly be back!

It’s known in the world that Kazakh and Kyrgyz nations have traditions of hunting small animals with the aid of predator birds such as falcon, hawks, and eagles. The custom of hunting with bird of prey or eagle hunting have survived among Kazakhs who live in the Western part of Mongolia,  and nowadays this art of the man and bird partnership can be witnessed at the show festival which has expanded into the independent tourist attraction venue for photographers and visitors from all over the world.  At present, there are almost 200 eagle hunters in the West of Mongolia.

We spent the Lunar New Year with a local family. It was a truly incredible experience. We loved how gracious and welcoming our hosts were and are very appreciative that they included us in their traditions and celebration. We were really looking forward to this trip it and was the corner stone of our trip to Mongolia. It did not disappoint. Our guide, Ebo was amazing. He was funny and knowledgable. I really enjoyed the stories he shared of his experiences and life in Mongolia. He went above and beyond to help us when things were not going smoothly or expected. Oyuna, our trip coordinator was super knowledgable and provided great advice when planning our trip. Her communication when we had to rebook some trains and flights unexpectedly was great. She kept us in the loop as to what was going on an made us feel reassured that everything would be taken care of. Our driver had a impressive knowledge of the roads and directions. He was a skilled driver and made us feel safe in all conditions. We did unexpectedly have another couple join us on the trip last minute. They did confirm that we were ok with the change and refunded us some money because of it.

Everything just worked out on this tour i did in nov 2019. Actually mongolian ways was one of the few actually offering during this offseason time of the year. Both guide and driver have proofen excellent organizational, driving, translating skills and made everytjing possible. One night for example was really cold so they spontanipusly organized a warmer place for the next day. A lot was organized according to the situation which gave maximum flexibility. We visited places which are not usually on the tourists list as for example a coal mine. I was never pressured to hurry up or and still everything worked out because the dtiver was so well connected with the locals. And of course... the sights I saw where amazing.

In 2019 we went off in search of an authentic Mongolian party and celebration to end our season. In September 2019 we were made to feel like the honoured guests at the Alma Kuk Eagle Festival in tiny Ulaankhus soum, Bayan Olgii province, Mongolia’s western-most region. Our guests got to race in the Whipping Game, and even release a treasured golden eagle back into the wild, something that has never been featured in a ‘traditional’ eagle festival line-up. We also offer an opportunity to raft the Khovd river for 3-4 days post-Games, and fly home from Khovd rather than Olgii. The truly adventurous soul can combine riding, hiking, eagle hunting, and then pack rafting, all in a fortnight. For those who come to ride, you will find the quality of the horses and the riding unsurpassed, and also have the chance to spot wildlife from the saddle that would make safari guests jealous. Ibex, argali sheep, wolves and snow leopards make their homes in these exceptionally remote regions.

Inclusions: Dinner, Dinner, All riding and pack horses - seven full days of fully supported, fully escorted riding, Internal flights to Uvs and home from Olgii, All food and board throughout the trip

Exclusions: International flights to and from Mongolia

I rode with the guys in 2016 for around 2 weeks in a small and fun group of individuals, who were all coming to Mongolia for different reasons - may this have been to take a break from busy jobs or metropolis cities, recovery from loss or heartbreak, a way to find themselves or just to enjoy a beautiful outdoor adventure with like minded people. Mongolia is probably the most beautiful place that I have ever had the luck to be in. A seemingly unlimited steppe reaches as far as the eye can see, gorgeous mountain ridges lining paradise-esque valleys with crystal clear rivers running to their mighty feet, where sheep, cattle and yak are grazing next to herds of wild horses. Morindoo has organized a beautiful route through the Ovorkhangai province, our group was accompanied by two incredibly gifted herders who led the way and taught us some of their knowledge about horses. The days were spent in the saddle and the evenings by the camp fire - Morindoo had a logistics car catching up with us riders, whenever we reached to our next camping location for the night, so we could enjoy some creature comforts and a tasty dinner. The team behind Morindoo has more than 10 years experience in organizing adventure trips of all formats in the country and they are working closely with the local community to create the best possible experience for their guests / riders / adventure seekers. I highly recommend them and would definitely go on another trip with Morindoo!

Trekking in Mongolia tour is an amazing trek in the western corner of Mongolia where it is bordering with China from its south and with Russia from its north. This area is the Altai mountain. The place where we will do trekking is less traveled by people. It’s difficult to drive there by car or jeep. So, we will pack camels for our all equipment and will start walking through breathtaking landscapes by making a little caravan through Kazakh and Tuvan nomad’s summer camp!

Inclusions: We can provide with all type of equipment for you!, All Fees and Taxes, Private transportation, All food & meals in western mongolia, All cooking, Camels for trekking transportation, Translator guide

We got in touch quite late but right from the beginning, Baldyrgan the owner of Western Mongolia Tours was very responsive. We received replies to any questions really quickly and WMT provided us with extra sleeping bags as we did not have any. Arriving by plane on day 1 the team was waiting and we were ready to go. We had a great team: guide, driver, cook. We chose to travel to Altai Tavan Bogd National Park, covering the White River Valley, Potania Glacier (to which we travelled by horse and camel with a group of ver experienced Tuva guides), Malchin Peak. It snowed and we got quite cold so instead of the tent, our guide got a Ger for all of us. This was'nt included in the itinerary but one of those extra unexpected things that made the trip great. The lakes, petroglyphs, dear stones and some stunning views followed. We also stayed with a friednly eagle hunter family. Baldyrgan and his team are very experienced, and know many of the people along the the way really well. This makes the journey smoother and opened doors for us. An impromptu visit to a family along the way ended up being a really nice afternoon, asking questions and eating local delicacies and drinking Mongolian Vodka made with cheese! We had some tasty food prepared by Danko who is a great cook and was always cheerful even very early on pretty cold rainy mornings! Bano, our guide, was really knowlegeable and also patient with us as we climbed Malchin Peak at our inexperienced slow pace. Our driver was used to the route & navigated difficult terrain with the russian van (a vehicle he was very familiar with) with relative ease. This was pretty reassuring and meant that we could actually enjoy the off-road trip as well. The journey was very well prepared and the team was clearly experienced and had packed and been provided by WMT with all the right things even when we had not thought of them. Returning to Olgii we had an extra few days and Baldyrgan went out of his way to help us out, show us around and bring us to the airport. We felt well cared for. We can really recommend Western Mongolia Tours as an experienced professional company.
