Discover Mongolia Tour
About Us
Company profile
Since 2004, we have been helping travelers from all over the world to experience unforgettable adventures to our homeland, and we do it all with expertise and passion.
Because we’re so keen on helping travelers explore Mongolia and get benefitted from all of our professional expertise, we recently made the decision to rebrand our business to better reflect what it is we do.
Thanks to feedback from our customers, we are now trading as Discover Mongolia! (formerly Black Ibex Expeditions), because that’s what we do. We take tourists on a journey of discovery, and while we may have a new name, we still offer the same unrivalled service and beautifully bespoke tours of a breathtaking nation.
But we do more than just organise tours and bespoke trips to Mongolia, we help people to experience the true beauty of a country which is steeped in history and culture and one which thrives on a more simple way of life. We want each and every visitor to leave having experienced a truly unforgettable journey and we do that every single time thanks to our focus on quality and service.
From our base in Ulaanbaatar, our experienced team of travel specialists knows exactly what works when it comes to the perfect Mongolian travel experience and we expect nothing but the very best from the partner companies we choose to work with.
From hotels and restaurants to tourist camps, we carefully select and monitor third party providers who share our passion and who, like us, strive for the very best standards, because that’s the only way we can guarantee that the entire Mongolian experience from start to finish is an entirely positive one.
Trust Discover Mongolia! to deliver the trip of a lifetime. Our knowledge, experience and passion is, afterall, why we’re now the leading name in Mongolian travel.
Mission statement
To give every tourist that travels with us the most beautiful memories of Mongolia and its people.
How it began
Founder Barsbold explains where the idea for Discover Mongolia came from.
I grew up in western Mongolia in Khovd province, helping my uncle during the summers in his work as a hunting guide. I’ll never forget my first hunting trip with him when I was 14, trekking through the Altai Mountains in search of ibex. I held a horse for one of the hunters just before sunset as he shot one of those beautiful creatures.

There is so much more to Mongolia!
That day, my dream was born—my dream of creating a company whose sole mission was to show all the mystery, history, and charm of my country and its people to our visitors.
After attending university in Ulaanbaatar to study tourism management, I started this company in 2004—and I’ve been sharing my love of Mongolia with international tourists from around the world ever since.
