My husband and I traveled to the Altai Tavan Bogd region of Western Mongolia for eight days in late August. We met our guide, Pyeka. We traveled by horseback or on foot, along with our chef, Alma, and our driver, Syerik, through the truly beautiful, untouched glaciers and snow-capped mountains. Pyerizat (Peka) knows the nomad families in the area well and maintains good relationships with them, responding promptly to our needs. We stayed at the home of nomad Shonka in the Snake River Valley and met his three adorable daughters. Peka even brought a skewer, so we could barbecue during our trip. She even provided a shower, so we were lucky enough to shower twice during our trip. Our driver, Syerik, was an excellent fisherman and caught a trout over 60 centimeters long, which we enjoyed as fresh and delicious fried trout. The Altai Tavan Bogd region was truly beautiful, and our guide, chef, and driver were all warm and welcoming people. I hope to visit this beautiful region of Western Mongolia again next year.

A memorable experience From the first email to the goodbye at Olgii, Peka and her team made sure everything was taken care of. Really friendly bunch of people. Driving through incredible scenery listen to Mongolian Pop music, climbing Khuiten, spending time with Khazak family, attending a marriage, and so many moments in between - it was a truly memorable experience. All credit goes to the great attitude of Bokka, Paska, and Akhjan, detailed planning of Peka and delicious cooking of Janka. Thank you all! We will surely be back for more. Highly recommended!

Amazing Trip Hi everyone, I went to Mongolia and 1000% recommend to book it through these guys. I wanted to backpack alone for 14 days, but was told a guide was highly suggested. They know the mountains and without my 1 guide to help me through this terrain, I would have found myself in trouble. 14 amazing days of trekking with my guide to nearby rivers, lakes, snow-capped mountains and plains through all types of weather; hail, snow, rain, wind, you name it. The person who helped me plan all this, Peka, helped me secure the perfect guide that I got to know very well and provided me with equipment I did not have. Shout out to Bek Books, Erbolat and Huangdag for making this solo journey a wonderful memory and look forward to revisiting in the summer time. This is a trip you cannot pass up!

9 Days Trekking in the Altai Tavan Bogd We spent nine unforgettable days crossing the Altai Tavan Bogd National Park! We hiked from the Khoton lake to Malchin peak. Pyerizat picked us up at the airport, made us stay at the Kazakh Nomads Guest House (Ger) as we arrived and had arranged everything for the trip (permits, transportation, horse guide, etc). In the park, we stayed at an eagle hunter family on the first day and we had a great time walking through this park with changing landscape!

I Highly recommend kazakh nomads. The tour was put together wonderfully and customised to suit what we wanted to do/see. We even had the bonus of seeing a kazakh wedding. Everyone was amazing and all seriously kind, friendly people who made the trip even more enjoyable. We got to see some extremely beautiful places and meet some awesome kazakh and Tuvan nomads, see a very talented throat singer, and much more, all in the presence of some seriously great company The food provided was great too, we definitely never went hungry. The gers at their guest house are decorated beautifully with kazahk wall hangings. The toilets and shower were also nice and kept clean. I wouldn't hesitate doing another tour with them

A Perfect Western Mongolia Adventure Peka and her team started off as attentive tour guides, driver and cook but after a week in their presence we can now call them friends. Every detail was well constructed and cared for. We requested specific requirements of a romantic trip for a couple but also as much adventure activities as possible. Peka delivered on every aspect. In a week we managed to climb mountains, ride horses several times for hours across the steppes, off road Russian van excursions, camping in the mountains, stay two nights in a romantic ger set up especially for us, visit and hold golden eagles with the famous Western Mongolian Eagle Hunters and generally meet and experience the nomadic life of the Kazakh people of the Altai Tavan Bogd. If you are looking for a tour provider for Western Mongolia then Peka and the team at Kazakh Nomads are the best and most accommodating in the area. We emailed and called several tour providers in the area and all of them other than Kazakh Nomads said that our specific itinerary on a bespoke tour couldn't be done. Peka made the tour achievable and we are thankful her help and expertise and knowledge of the area to make our trip a reality.

Peka (and her company Discover Kazakh Nomads) is a reliable, kind, professional and highly experienced tour provider based in Bayan Ulgii. If you are looking for an english speaking guide for your trip to western mongolia/the Altai Tavan Bogd national park, look no further. I first reached out to her by email a month or so ahead of my planned trip. I told her what I hoped to do and to see, and she quickly worked out a detailed, personalized itinerary to my specifications. It being my first trip to Mongolia, I had many questions, and her responses were quick and informative. As for the tour itself, she and her team took care of everything - even helping me buy my roundtrip flight tickets to and from the local airport in Ulgii. As the guest, I had nothing to worry about except to enjoy the nature and experiences she and her team had arranged. She knew all the best spots for riding, camping, photos etc and is friends with many of the nomadic families in the area. I wholeheartedly recommend Peka for any trip to western mongolia - I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about my experience so please don't hesitate to reach out to me here on TA.

Fantastic tour with Kazakh Nomads. All aspects of the tour were carefully arranged, including transport, meals and lodging. We followed the itinerary pretty closely over the tour, and whenever there was a change, the guide, Bihu, made sure to confirm with us first. Bihu was easygoing and helpful throughout the trip, especially in helping to translate between the driver and Gool, our talented cook and storyteller. Gool was able to whip up some fantastic meals over the course of the trip, including hand made buuz and khuushuur and even gimbap! Between her stories, jokes and delicious food our hearts and bellies were full the entire trip. Overall a professional tour and rich, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you, Kazakh Nomads!

There aren't enough words in the world to express my gratitude for this tour, for Peka, our beautiful guide Yrka, our cook Mahpal and driver Erbolat! I travelled together with one other solo traveller (both female) for a week through the Western parts of Mongolia. Starting in Ulgii, we hiked the Maltin peak and crossed through the Tavan Bogd NP. We visited a super friendly eagle hunting family, rode horses to a tucked away waterfall, we saw the graves of Turk warlords and drank mineral water. We were welcomed by local nomads everywhere, and drove through the most rugged terrain. I washed my hair in the river and laughed every single day. It is a family company, and I felt like we were family. The driving was secure, fast. Our guide could tell us so many fascinating things about Kazakh culture, histories of the land, and current traditions. We played cards and ate delicious meals- even some freshly caught fish! We slept in a tent and we were toasty warm with a ton of insulation. We saw incredible sights, words can't describe. It was one of the richest, most special weeks of my life. Thank you, Kazakh Nomads, I hope that many more people can come and experience your hospitality.

A safe, very friendly experience I and another girl met in Ulaanbaatar for the first time and were looking for a reliable tour guide in the Altai. We definitely found it with Peka and Kazakh Nomads! Irka, our guide was so lovely, as was Eren and Erbolat, our chef and driver. We felt safe and attended to very closely. Lots of food, that was very comfortable for a westerner :)

Best experience ever! I can’t find words enough to say how greatful I am that I found Peka. She’s an amazing woman with great knowledge about all of the georgous places in Mongolia. I spent great time with her and Boca (special thanks for safe and amazing driving skills!) and I can’t wait to come back again. Strongly recommended! Traveling through Mongolia with them is an adventure you can’t miss!
