A note from our founder

“Ever since my family welcomed our very first foreign traveller in 2007, I have dreamed of sharing the breathtaking nature of my homeland, bringing travellers to our countryside home and introducing them to the authentic nomadic way of life. That first guest, a backpacker from Canada, is still a dear friend today.”

Ulziitogtokh. O

Founder & CEO, Mandukhai Travel

Born and raised in the countryside of northern Mongolia’s Khuvsgul province, I come from a traditional herding family and have been riding horses since the age of seven. Today, I channel my deep love for my homeland into my work as a tour guide, sharing Mongolia’s culture and landscapes with visitors from across the globe. I am immensely proud of my heritage and eager to represent my country.

Our first experience

How it started.

Every route we run began as a journey we took ourselves. This is the first one.

  1. 2007

    A stranger at the market

    11th grade, spring break, waiting at the Khuvsgul market with your siblings for your father; the tall backpacker asking about Jargalant soum; English since 5th grade, too shy but telling him he'd found the right car.

  2. 2007

    Our first guests

    Heading to Terkhiin Tsagaan Lake; the night at your family's countryside home and the shared meal; the fishing gear for the fare; the drive to your aunt's camp, your first time there.

  3. Ever since

    A passion for the road:

    Wanting to travel like those backpackers, and to share your homeland and the nomadic way of life.

  4. Today

    Still friends

    The Canadian traveller is still a dear friend.

What you can count on

Four promises, kept on every road.

Mongolia only

We don't sell other countries. Every route, camp and season here is one we know first-hand.

Local guides & drivers

Your team is Mongolian, chosen for their knowledge of the land as much as their languages.

Small groups, flexible plans

Private departures that bend around weather, festivals and the families who host you.

A real person, always

Before, during and after your trip you can reach our team directly on Viber or WhatsApp.
