Most of Mongolia is sky.
Tours across Mongolia, designed and led by people who live here.
How we travel.
Mongolia is bigger than the country it shows on maps. The drive from Ulaanbaatar to the Altai is over 1,500 kilometers, most of it on tracks, not roads. The country is mostly what happens between the named places: the road that turns to track, the wind across grass, the family that asks you to stay for tea.
We design trips at that pace. Small groups, no more than six. Drivers who grew up in the regions we cross. Guides who can name the lichen on a rock and the herder a hundred kilometers ahead. We share fixed itineraries for travelers who want a planned route, and we will change any of them, the dates, the routing, the season, to suit what you are trying to see.
Pricing is consultative. We talk first, plan second, quote third. Reach out on WhatsApp when you are ready.

Featured region
Western
Bayan-Ölgii in the far west holds Mongolia's quietest weeks each year. The Altai Mountains rise above 4,000 meters; Kazakh families still hunt with golden eagles; the Five Sacred Peaks of Altai Tavan Bogd are still walked, not climbed by ropeways. Three itineraries, from an eight-day flight to the Golden Eagle Festival in October to a twenty-two-day grand tour spliced with Khuvsgul.

What guests say
Notes from past travelers, in their own words.
We are gathering reviews from our first season. Google Business and TripAdvisor profiles open soon.
(Replace with verified guest reviews, operator to confirm names and trips.)
“Baska planned the route around two things: I wanted to camp at Tovkhon, and my partner gets carsick. The 5-day version we ended up with felt designed for us, not retrofitted. The driver knew when to stop without being asked.”
“We've done Africa with the big operators. This was the first time the founder of the company was the one replying to our emails before, during, and after the trip. It changes everything.”
“Three nights with a Tsaatan family that Buya has known since childhood. Worth the four-day drive each way. Bring more film than you think you need.”
Buya · Tour leader
Who guides you.
Our trips are designed by Baska and led by Buya. They write every itinerary we offer themselves, know the road, the weather, and the people you will meet. Baska replies to every inquiry personally, in your language, and stays with you through the planning. Buya joins you in person closer to your trip date and is your guide on the road.
Common questions.
How are your Mongolia tours different from a group tour?
Every itinerary runs as a private trip for your group only, typically two to six guests. We do not run scheduled departures with strangers. The trip you book is your trip, with your driver and Buya, our tour leader, who joins each trip in person.
When is the best time to visit Mongolia?
June through August is peak season for most regions: long days, green steppe, all ger camps open, mountain passes accessible. May and September are quieter shoulder months. October is for the Golden Eagle Festival in Bayan-Ölgii. We do not run countryside tours from November through April: ger camps close and unpaved sections become unreliable.
How much does a Mongolia tour cost?
Pricing is consultative, we shape the route around your dates and group size first, then quote. Final inclusions and pricing are confirmed in writing before any payment. Get in touch with your dates and we send a tailored quote within a week.
Can you customize an itinerary?
Yes. About a quarter of our trips are custom: a specific group, specific dates, a specific subject like photographing eagle hunters in Bayan-Ölgii or riding through Khangai for two weeks. Baska designs the route, Buya leads it. Custom routes are not more expensive than fixed ones.
Which region should I choose for a first trip to Mongolia?
Most first-time travelers do a Central Mongolia tour. Karakorum, the Orkhon Valley UNESCO site, Tovkhon Monastery, Tsenkher Hot Springs, five to nine days from Ulaanbaatar. The Gobi Desert is the obvious second visit. Travelers with two weeks often combine Central with the Gobi on a single 10-day loop.
What languages do you operate in?
Baska replies to inquiries in English, Mongolian, Russian, Mandarin Chinese, and Korean. Buya leads in English on the road. Our drivers speak working English; for trips with a Russian, Mandarin, or Korean lead, we arrange a translator on request.
Where are you based?
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. We are a registered Mongolian tour operator (state registration number 000371141). All itineraries start and end in Ulaanbaatar.
