Excellent trip, excellent company --- My girlfriend and I came to Mongolia for 4 days and used Mongolian Ways following a recommendation. Our trip was only for a short period of time but Tsoggy helped us tailor our itinerary to make the most of what we wanted to do and see in such a short (cold!) time. We were met by Sarul, our guide, who was an excellent bank of knowledge and really made sure that we were comfortable and happy throughout the trip. We were able to see and experience so much in such a short period (without it seeming tiresome), which is testament to Tsoggy and the rest of the team organising excellent activities and making sure everything goes to plan. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend for anyone going to Mongolia for even a quick visit. We will definitely be back to explore more and cant wait to travel with you again. Thanks for everything!
I travelled to Mongolia this summer and the trip totally exceeded my expectations 😊 Mongolian Ways was flawless from start to finish. Tsoggy organised my Mysteries of the Gobi Desert trip and he was happy to go out of his way to ensure everything was just right. My tour guide, Uyanga and my driver, Nyamka were outstanding. Uyanga was super organised and we had a great time climbing to the top of Khongoriin Els. Nyamka had a great sense of humour and always went that extra mile. I was in awe of the abundance of unique landscapes in the Gobi Desert. Throughout my trip, the attention to detail and making the little things count was top-class. An amazing holiday! I hope to go back, explore more of this exquisite country and I would definitely book with Mongolian Ways again.
Amazing people, amazing experiences, amazing trip! Absolutely the best outfitter out there! Made Mongolia into the best trip we’ve ever taken. Thanks so much Mongolian Ways!!! Can’t wait for my next trip with you.
Between 2003 and August 2018 I did a number of riding / hiking / camping / reconnaissance trips out to the Mongolian countryside, as far as its Northern, Western and Southern borders, for up to two weeks at a time, with various “well-established” travel providers including individual and small-group custom trips with Mongolian Ways.
I return to Mongolia for its dramatic, very-lightly-populated, wide-open unfenced desert, mountain, taiga, forest and steppe landscapes and nature, and the varied and hospitable nomadic peoples out in that countryside.
I continue to go with Mongolian Ways because:
• SAFETY: out in Mongolia’s remote areas I want Safety to be Job One, and I have found Mongolian Ways’ drivers and horse wranglers to be well-experienced professionals who consistently attend to Safety without over-nannying things; we haven’t got lost out there; they provided horses suitable for the full range of riding skills in our group, and indeed well-mannered reindeer for our lighter members
• ATTITUDE: I find Mongolian Ways’ personnel to be friendly and, see them consistently going the extra mile to accommodate Clients (including bringing extra bedding on an unusually cold night, and retrieving stuff left behind by dumb Clients); they clearly go out of their way to build positive community relations out in the countryside, and to avoid offending local sensitivities (and in one case I observed, going to CONSIDERABLE lengths to patch up a gross faux pas committed by a competitor’s tour group)
• GUIDES: Mongolian Ways’ guides speak fully-functional, and in some cases eloquent, English; and were at least as knowledgeable as I needed them to be; I enjoyed their camp cooking
• COST-EFFECTIVE DELIVERY TO PROMISE: Mongolian Ways’ office takes some care over their proposals, and I would advise potential Clients to ensure that their proposal does capture what they want – and don’t want; Mongolian Ways have delivered to promise for me every time, and I consider their pricing to be fair for the services they provided
(I can compare my trips with Mongolian Ways favourably versus a “luxury” 24-person group tour to the Gobi and Far West organised through a prestigious American university which I also took in 2018; the daily rate for that trip was literally 10 times that of Mongolian Ways’ 2018 trip, but (i) in heavy rain in the far West of Mongolia, one of the Land Cruisers was literally sliding off the track and down the grassy hillside until the Clients bailed out and had the driver replaced; (ii) the American university’s ‘Tour Manager’ left half-way through the tour, and was not replaced; (iii)in a dire provincial hotel there was not one drop of water to drink or even flush the toilet, and Clients were left to go into the town on their own in the rain to buy water; (iv) during rain, the tour group and its guide spontaneously occupied a small community mosque for a considerable period overlapping with prayer time, while keeping a wedding party waiting outside, and then took photos of the wedding party against their clearly-expressed wishes; and (v) stops were scheduled in 1-1/4-hour chunks, including “shopping opportunities”.)
I have no financial interest in Mongolian Ways, and look forward to travelling with them again, soon.
We (parents and 2 teenager) had amazing 10 days’ trip to Mongolia with Mongolian ways.
I research before and spoke with serval company and eventually decide to do the trip with Ron / Mongolian ways.
Ron asked few question and based on it he built the trip for us. the price was very reasonable and without any shortcut in the trip, we were slipping in unique places the stuff was very nice and also in the end of the trip we made some small changes and Mongolian ways has change the planes according our request which was not easy.
So once again I really recommend to go to Mongolia and do the trip with them.

In March 2018 (late winter) four of us had a wonderful 2 1/2 week adventure and photographic trip in central and Western Mongolia with Mongolian Ways and I have no hesitation in scoring them 5/5 stars. Following a short time in UB where we were taken to several interesting cultural and photographic sites, we travelled to Hustai NP and then on to Western (Khazakh) Mongolia and the Altai mountains visiting and staying with several nomad and eagle hunting families. Our MW guide Tsoggy was absolutely excellent, as was our specialist photo guide Asher; also our very skillful and safe drivers and Merie our superb cook. In spite of the clear difficulties of setting up a long trip in late winter to visit many very remote gers and houses, the organisation was smooth, efficient and impressive.
Thank you Mongolian Ways. Brilliant, personal service and a most enjoyable trip.
Mongolia is always a challenging country to travel in (it was our second visit), but Mongolian Ways looked after us extremely well and competently and "managed our expectations" to a high degree. They had organised a great itinerary over two and a half weeks, and there were still wonderful extra surprises most days, like frozen Lake Uureg, a visit to the local school, and Kazakh National Day with everyone dressed in national costume. We had our own lovely cook, who provided us with lots of vegetables to suit our Western palates. We were accompanied by the remarkable photographer Asher Svidensky, who allowed us an intimate insight into the life of Kazakh nomads and in particular eagle hunting families, and gave us unique photo opportunities. Our guide Tsoggi from MW was our translator, and he not only ironed out any problems that inevitably did arise, but also allowed us far greater insight into the nomadic life than we should otherwise have had. I would strongly recommend Mongolian Ways. R. Macfarlane
To Ron and all Mongolian Ways's friends
We just came home from the greatest experience we had for long time
We came to Mongolia for two and half weeks thinking we were ready for her. As a fact the experience was much more exciting than we expected
Thank you all for this special visit. Mongolian Ways's people manage to show us and to let us feel the real Mongolian country, people and their life
style. Great and professional drivers and tour guide, drove us through beautiful scenery, brought us close as much as possible to the tradition and mystery of Mongolian History. showing and teaching us the way of life at this very special and exotic country. All logistics matters were as agreed and taken care through the whole tour to the last small details
So, thank you all again, we are happy and grateful to have this experience

Many thanks to Mongolian ways for organizing a perfect trip for our family.
We traveled with our 2 girls ( 7&9 years old) to beautiful Mongolia and had an amazing journey 🇲🇳.
Everything was well organized! We had a very talented and knowledgeable guide who was getting along with the kids perfectly, and a very skilled driver that made us feel safe and comfortable.
Everything was just perfect 👌 and we couldn't ask for anything more.
Thank you so much for the interesting and amazing experience
