Welcome Letter

 When you come to Mongolia, let us share with you what Mongolia is truly about, what Mongolians are about. The true value of the country is not in its fancy hotels and restaurants brimming with western food but in meeting real Mongolians, hearing their stories and living the life of a nomad!

 Our adventures are designed to take you to different parts of the country, meeting and interacting with local people, and learning first-hand how they live. You will learn about paleontology or archaeology from the leading scholars of the country and at the same time learn how to ride horses with a herder, while helping him to graze his sheep.There are many stories to be told and roads to be travelled here in the land of Genghis Khan. Join our Mongolia Quest team on an adventure of a lifetime!

ODONTUYA Adiya (Odno)

Program manager

“Born and raised in the rustic yet beautiful Batsumber village, surrounded by mountains, rivers, springs, and rich flora and fauna, I spent my childhood in a ger with my parents and grandparents in a picturesque valley herding animals. My only childhood friends and toys were baby cows, horses, sheep, and goats. I used to spend entire days with my grandpa, shepherding the sheep and hunting for wild berries, and medicinal plants, and producing dairy products with my grandma. We have a unique tradition that involves offering the first sip of tea to the sky and, first bite of the meal to the fire, as we believe in natural forces and every mountain, river, and specific area has a spirit in it.

Our family moved to the city when I started school, initiating my journey to learn English and discover the world. In 2018, I completed my MSc in Tourism Management from Budapest Business School in Hungary. With experience in journalism and project management, I joined Mongolia Quest as a guide. My ultimate goal is to develop community-based, sustainable tourism in Mongolia, showcasing the last nomadic traditions and culture that align with the laws of nature.”

Why Travel With Us?

We Have Stories to Tell

Mongolia is located at the very heart of Inner Asia and is home to one of the oldest nomadic cultures in the world. It is here that herders roamed the land freely with their animals for hundreds of generations and thanks to the essence of nomadic existence, this tradition has survived millennia.
