My friend and I took the Terelj National Park and Chinggis Khaan Statue Tour. Everything was exceptional. Our guide and driver met us at the hotel and they were exceptional. Both were very friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic during the entire trip. Tour of the statue and museum was excellent. Our guide provided a great overview of the complex and then an expertly-guided tour throughout. The park tour was equally incredible because our guide and driver were fantastic. Both made the entire experience worthwhile and I will definitely takes tours with them and the entire Discover Mongolia team -- first rate all around!!!
We spent 3 days in Terelj National Part, Hustai National Park, Chinggis Khaan Statue Complex and in 13th century National park. Everything was great. Thanks a lot to Discover Mongolia Travel Co., our perfect guide Myagmar Uugantsetseg and our friendly driver. We enjoyed all of the activities so much!
Eva & friends from the Czech Republic.
We used Discover Mongolia to arrange a day trip. We wanted to go riding, and Discover Mongolia delivered.
They arranged an excellent guide, Amy (who was knowledgable, passionate, and very easy going) and a driver with a sturdy and fast 4x4! They collected us from our digs in UB, and we headed out to the Mongol Nomads camp on the road to Khustai.
We had a traditional lunch and then headed out on horseback down the beautiful valley with Amy and the guy who had the horses. The horses were sturdy, responsive and well behaved without being just 'plodder' trekking ponies.
The ride lasted about 2.5 hours, and we stopped midway to have a breather and a chat. We went back home happy and tired, and much more knowledgable about Mongolia, its customs and wonderful people. Bat in the office was communicative and put the trip together at very short notice for us.
We had planned to use them again but sadly had to cut our trip short.
Thanks to the team for a wonderful day.
