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!

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. Nomads passed down their knowledge and history from one generation to another through their oral tradition of telling stories. We will share these intricate stories with you in most intimate way so that you can understand the people and their culture and become ambassadors of nomadic Mongolia.
