About
Two of us in Ulaanbaatar.
Two of us. Plus the drivers and families we work with across the country.
How we work.
We design and run every trip ourselves. Two people: Baska, planning and routing in Ulaanbaatar; Buya, leading on the ground in the regions where the trip happens. We do not subcontract. We do not run packages we have not run before.
The reason for the small scale is that the country is large. Mongolia is over 1,500 kilometers from Ulaanbaatar to the Altai, mostly on tracks rather than roads. The work we do is the planning that happens before the visit, the driver who knows the section, the family that has expected you, the route adjustment when the weather changes. None of this delegates well.
We write the itineraries on this site ourselves. Itineraries flex to your dates. Pricing is consultative – we talk first, plan second, quote third.
Baska · Tour planner
Baska
Baska is short for Baasandoljin. She designs every itinerary the company offers, schedules trips against your dates and group size, and replies to every inquiry personally in your language. She has been working as a tour guide since 2013.
Baska is your point of contact from the first message until the trip begins. After that, Buya takes over on the road, but Baska is the one who shaped the trip.
Buya · Tour leader
Buya
Buya is short for Buyanbat. He founded Imperial Nomad Tours and leads every trip on the road himself. Eleven years working in the tourism sector. Born in Arkhangai province in central Mongolia, where he grew up herding yaks and riding horses.
Buya is your guide and travelling companion from the start of the route to the end. The trips you book, he has run before, often dozens of times. He joins you in person and stays through the gers, the families that host us, and the long driving days.
