Akhjol.

Akhjol, who goes by Aka, runs a small tour company in Bayan Ölgiy in Western Mongolia. He was born and raised in Ulgii and spent part of his childhood with his nomadic grandparents in the Altai mountains, an upbringing that shaped his interest in sharing the region's culture with visitors. He studied in Thailand and began working as a guide in 2014. He speaks Mongolian, Kazakh, English and Japanese.

His trips center on the Altai mountains: multi-day treks through remote nomadic areas, and tours built around the Kazakh eagle hunting tradition, including the Golden Eagle Festival. Itineraries combine high-altitude hiking or 4WD travel with homestays with nomadic and eagle hunter families, along with horses and camels where routes call for them.

Akhjol guides and drives personally, and also works with other guides and drivers for larger or multi-route trips. Listings include domestic flights from Ulaanbaatar, local transport, meals and accommodation, so travelers arrive to an itinerary that is largely arranged for them. His own background in the mountains and his connection to local eagle hunter families are central to how he presents Mongolia to visitors.
