    Unforgettable Time in Mongolia 🇲🇳

    The trip with Bataa and his horseback riders was unforgettable! I never expected to experience such a beautiful country, filled with so many adventures. We had so many wonderful moments, learned new things, and felt as comfortable as if we were with family. This made my time in Mongolia truly unforgettable. I am very grateful for the experience and highly recommend it! Next time, I’ll bring my brother to show him the amazing country and its lovely people.

    Unforgettable horse trekking

    My family and I had an absolutely unforgettable experience with Taiga Travel and Bataa! From when we first got in touch with Bataa, the communication and organization were perfect. Bataa was open and flexible to what we wanted out of our 16 day experience in Western Mongolia. He made great recommendations for areas, activities, and transportation options. He even took care of bringing all the gear we needed for camping; we just had to bring ourselves and our personal items. Bataa will walk you through everything you need to know in a complete and thorough way. He’s an awesome guy who you can tell loves to be in the Mongolian countryside sharing culture and traditions with you. We visited several nomadic families and had conversations with all of them thanks to his great translation skills. He made sure we got to experience unique aspects of Mongolian and nomadic culture along the way. His entire team are professional, courteous, and downright awesome people. I’m already thinking about coming back to Mongolia to explore a different part of the country with Bataa in the future.

    Perfect experience to see Mongolia

    It was the adventure of my life. The tour was planned perfectly and you will see Mongolia through the eyes of a Mongolian. It’s not Touristic at all, a REAL experience. I will come back again in August! Thank you so much

    Traveling through Mongolia’s mountains on horseback was an incredible experience. Very grounding and kind of therapeutic for me. Bataa always made an effort to satisfy everyone’s wishes and helped us understand his county’s traditions. I felt very well taken care of and welcomed by his kindness and humor. I can only recommend traveling with Bataa, he was one of the reasons why that trip was so special.
