When you book through us, your money stays in the community. Every experience funds a local family, not a global platform.

Stories from the road
Sergey number one! We had 4 amazing days of beautiful landscapes, great food and relaxing camping with Sergey and Dimitri. Great organization, available per chat all time, good english skills but better in Italian. Fun evenings and action days, Sergey knows the best spots, great foto/videographer, 100% responsible. Reach out to him, he is well recommended by me and press (German Der Spiegel, Italian gazettas)

We booked a 10 day tour of Western Mongolia through Akhbupye. We had an amazing time and could not have even come close to the experience we had if we tried to self drive.
Aika and Tau, our guide and driver kept us well fed and comfortable the entire time.
The homestays with local families were unforgettable, the scenery was beautiful and the hike up Malchin was a great challenge.

Shahzod was an excellent guide. He made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. We got to see incredible views and stayed at guesthouses with warm and friendly hosts. Me entire family enjoyed the trip very much! Couldn’t recommend Shahzod more!
