A great first trip to Mongolia - My friend and I did the 8 day Taste of Mongolia tour. It was well organized and we really enjoyed all our destinations and our guide and driver. It was a comfortable tour with a good vehicle, meals and places to stay. If anyone is interested in visiting Mongolia I would recommend.

Our amazing and memorable Mongolian experience - Our 16 day Mongolian trip in July this year with Discover Mongolia was for Sue and I very special and memorable. It was so well organized and all the many amazing places we visited and things we did every day were exactly as had been itemized in the trip Itinerary. We were a group of 9. We travelled in 3 fairly new Lexus 4x4 vehicles. Our route, with a few diversions, was from the Gobi Desert in the south to Lake Khovsgol in the very north. Our 3 Mongolian drivers were great fun and really good drivers especially off road… they seemed to navigate by instinct … we never ever got lost…..!! And our Mongolian guide Oyuna was just the best. She spoke perfect English as and had a great understanding and knowledge of Mongolia. She was also good fun and if any of us had a problem she was always there for us. We had many memorable experiences… the Nadam festival, riding Mongolian horses and camels, the vast landscape and how it gradually changed as we drove north, climbing a 300 metre sand dune, the herds of goats sheep and yak, the Our 16 day Mongolian trip in July this year with Discover Mongolia was for Sue and I very special and memorable.

We felt that going with a Mongolian travel company and a Mongolian guide made the trip even better. We would highly recommend that as the best way to get a true insight into the country and its people…Overall for Sue and I it was a brilliant experience….. thank you so much….one day we will return…..😊😊😊 Roland and Sue

So calm and relaxing - Very pleasant drive from downtown to the park. Our guide Tugu explained about the area and lives of Mongolians very well. Very relaxed tour without any rush. The park was pristine and beautiful Even though there were bunch of group tours everywhere. Our driver Moha was also super friendly and accommodating through out the tour. It was a wonderful experience of Mongolia and definitely will come back to explore more!! Thank you for such a relaxing and cool experience!

Bucket List Mongolia 🇲🇳 - Our Mongolia tour was an amazing experience. From pickup to drop off our skillful driver Zula fights through the busy traffic of the city and get to our location safely and on time. Our trip has also been elevated by the wealth of experience shared by our tour guide Khishig. She not only able to answer all our questions related to Mongolia, but also full of energy... from climbing up turtle rock to hiking mountains, she ensures we are always hydrated and get the best view. She also stepped out her way to work with tourist camps to adjust food menu to our liking and timing our sightseeing to have the best photo opportunities and least amount of ppls. My brother wanted to take a pic with some traditional mongolian attires and we didn't have enough time to do so at Chinggis Khan statue, so Khishig arranged an opportunity to do so at a tourist camp instead. Overall, mongolia was beautiful, but it was made unforgettable thanks to Khishig and Zula.

Great company for day trips - I highly recommend Discover Mongolia as a tour company. My coworker and I had a great experience in June 2023. Accompanied by our guide, Mygagmar, and driver, Dambaa, we embarked on a day trip to Terelj National Park and the Chinggis Khaan Statue. Along the way, we encountered breathtaking landscapes, witnessed horses roaming freely, and had the opportunity to visit a nomadic family. Both the guide and driver were delightful companions and provided us with a wealth of information. We also took a break in Terelj National Park to savor a delicious Mongolian lunch, which added to our overall enjoyment.

Amazing Mongolian tour! - I highly recommend Discover Mongolia tour company. My friend and I had an excellent trip in June 2023. With our guide Uuganaa and driver Nyamlai we travelled around Mongolia for 6 days in a 4x4 vehicle. We saw some amazing scenery, loads of animals, stayed in different camps sleeping in gers. We also ride camels and horses, and visited a nomadic family. The guide and driver were excellent company and very informative. I wouldn’t change a thing about the trip.

Historic experience - Just seeing the Chinggis Khan statue and reading some of the history in the museum reminds the tourist how this region of the world evolved over centuries. The Park is beautiful with a great lunch and visit to Buddhist temple.
