WESTERN MONGOLIA — Hotel in Ölgii

How can I put this. I have been to so many breath taking places in the world such as the Swiss alps, Dublin, Kenya safaris, Portugal, countrysides of Europe and many more.

Traveling to Western Mongolia guided by (Nurbolat Len) Nurbie has been one of the most exotic and exquisite journey that I will remember as long as I can.

From travelling on horse back, to the unforgettable scenery, eagle hunting and experiencing the nomadic lifestyle. It cannot get better being guided by Nurbie. He is honestly one of a kind, the best!! So knowledgeable, approachable and just made me feel safe, secure and at home in a foreign land. (He will constantly ask about your well being which is wonderful .

The Western Mongolia team is excellent at giving you a unique and special experience in far western Mongolia. Numerous highlights include interacting with and training with Eagle Hunters, learning about Kazakh traditions, eating authentic food, authentic songs, horseriding through the mountains and across the steppe. We also attended the Sagsai Eagle Festival which was a cool experience.

The team is exceptional and competent at what they do which gives you the best experience possible. The activities are well planned, the food, hospitality and accomodation was excellent and the experience is made authentic.

Nurbi is an excellent organiser and helped with planning and communicating well before we arrived in Mongolia. He is thorough and ensures that you are well prepared for your trip.

Our personal English speaking guide Amandakh was also excellent and very knowledgeable. He ensured that everything planned was seamless and had great flexibility depending on your proclivities. It was easy to interact with the nomadic family due to him and this enhanced the experience. It was just a bonus that he was a similar age to our group so we had a blast.

Special mention to the drivers Jaidarkh (Jackie) and Baabsher who know a thing or two about how to tackle Mongolian terrain on the UAZ 452 van. Also, to our cook Medu who kept serving delicious meals throughout. I knocked out sound asleep, satiated, after one of the meals.

I highly recommend planning your Mongolia trip with Nurbi, you will not be...
