Our traveler's feedback

Me and my friend was ready for an adventure, and that was exactly what we got! Getting to explore the wilderness and nature on bike and rafting was amasing.

And what made the trip 10 times better was our great guide Uka! She took care of every minor and big problem. I didn't have to worry when she was around! 
I really recommend traveling to MONGOLIA, beautiful country! 

We had an incident with sickness, so when you travel be carefull with what you eat!

The nearly 15 day tour of Mongolia I took with Discover Mongolia has one of the trips of my life -- and I have been traveling extensively for the last 25-30 years.

The itinerary - from the Gobi in the south to Lake Khuvsgul in the north -- was well planned and each day was different as was each place. What made the trip so much better and enjoyable was that we had a fabulous guide in Mayagmar Uugantsetseg (Oka for us) and Thuksuu who was the man behind the wheel.

These two became our window to Mongolia. They looked after us with extreme love and care and not for a moment we got the feeling that we are in a foreign country.

The two are lifelong friends for me now. They were the best ambassadors of Mongolia, a country that is extremely beautiful blessed with natural diversity and happy and friendly people.

I joined Discover Mongolia to fulfill a lifelong wish to see and experience the Gobi desert. I made the absolutely right decision! 

Mir was our tour guide, she was organized, informative, and personable. Tamba, Ambra and Dalai were skilled mechanics and drivers. Very quickly during the trip, we all became friends. In fact, I'll be visiting a few friends I've just made in the Philippines! 
Thank you Mir and team for an unforgettable experience in beautiful Mongolia!

We were a couple, headed to Mongolia for our honeymoon trip. Discover Mongolia made our trip a very special one. Communication and confirmation prior to arrival was prompt and accurate, and our guide Tamir and driver Dashka was already waiting for us at the train station when our train pulled in. The next 12 days were nothing but amazing and breathtaking. We experienced the eternal blue sky, the cold nights with the warming fire in our gers, the nomadic lifestyle and their nermel, the setting up of a ger with the locals, the annual Naadam festival with local airag, the hot Gobi dinosaur land, and most importantly, the Mongolian culture and their hospitality. Our guide, even though young, was very experienced with our very knowledgeable driver, who has the map of unmarked roads in his mind. All in all, if you are looking for a fuss-free trip to experience all of Mongolia, approach them.

We returned two days ago after our 15 day customized Mongolia tour organized by Discover Mongolia Tour Company. We thank Discover Mongolia for providing us with comfortable GER camps, good vehicles and a variety of activities and we will definitely recommend your company to our friends and colleagues. We had a fantastic adventure and a memorable time in stunningly beautiful country with breathtaking scenery. We loved Mongolia with its uniquely diverse topography, panoramic views, pristine lakes, colorful wildlife, as well as rich history and culture. We'll long remember camel riding in the Gobi desert, as well as, riding horseback while viewing the purest lake in the world, visiting museums and learning about Chinggis Khan and his legacy, dinosaur excavation sights, and remote monasteries, experiencing sleeping in gers along the way and enjoying Mongolian beer and delicious cuisine! Our guide Altantogos was very personable, friendly, and professional in organizing varied activities and was flexible in adapting our schedules according to changing weather conditions. Otogonbaatar was our driver who was excellent excellent with utmost professionalism, and a great personality, who not only drove us safely and skillfully through swollen streams particularly on the day of heavy rain, but always kept the vehicle washed and cleaned at the end of each day when other parked vehicles of some tour companies remained covered with dust. He always assisted us in getting out of the vehicle, with the cutest smile on his face. He was an exemplary driver. We made lasting friendships with Tagasoo and Ottgo and miss them already.

There are many ways to travel Mongolia, I chose Discover Mongolia and after touring Mongolia with them, I highly recommend it for several reasons: Reason A: 98% of the trip is done overland with the least number of flights. I chose to visit most places overland with the least number of flights possible. Therefore, I chose Discover Mongolia, because its 14-day itinerary would take to all major attractions in central Mongolia overland with only two flights at the beginning and the end. Some travel companies would 1) flight you to Gobi, then take you back to Ulaan Baataar, 2) fly you to Karakorum and fly back to Ulaan Baataar, and 3) fly you to Murun to see Huvsgul Lake and fly back to Ulaan Baataar. To me, that's too many flying. Some travel agencies don't offer a tour that will hit these major places in one shot overland. It's either combination of 1 & 2, or 1&3. Only Discover Mongolia offers this complete itinerary Reason B: Reasonable price and responsive sales advisor. I worked with Oyunaa and she provides timely responses. She also came with the driver to pick me up in early morning of 1am to welcome me to Mongolia. Reason C: Great tour guides and highly skilled drivers. My tour director, Jack, is excellent. He's knowledgeable and very passionate in introducing his country to us. There is never a dull moment with Jack. Our driver is also experienced and skilled. In Mongolia, you really need an exceptional driver to maneuver through all terrains without having a flat tire or car break down. The vehicle is 4x4 SUV that it could go on any surface (rocky, rugged, and bumpy) as well as crossing the river. The driver also needs to know the road and direction. In Mongolia, when you are out in the rural area, there is no signs, no paved road, no direction, especially in a wide open field where you see no ends. Therefore, having a skilled and experienced driver is critical. Discover Mongolia's drivers are excellent. Reason C: Discover Mongolia takes care of you. There is someone in our group got injured in south Gobi, Discover Mongolia staff not only took him to the hospital to get immediate treatment, but also hired a driver to take him back to Ulaan Baataar to receive a better medical attention. They followed through until this person was released from the hospital and hired another driver to take him to rejoin the group. Discover Mongolia is professional, courteous, and detail-oriented. I had a great time in Mongolia. Some words about traveling to Mongolia: * Even though there are good guides and drivers in Mongolia, but I still would not encourage anyone to travel there if you have health issues, or spinal pains, or back pains, or osteoporosis. The bumpy roads could make it worse and only good hospital is in Ulaan Bataar, if you are injured, not only you must drive hours in bumpy road to the nearest airport and then fly to Ulan Baataar, but also there might be only one flight a day or several flights a week. You must be physically super fit and also be ready for some "discomfort" such as bumpy/rocky car rides and sometimes with dust flying, as well as shared bathrooms in ger camps. The toilets and showers are clean. But if you are not used to sharing, Mongolia may not be a good travel destination for you.
