It was an unforgettable experience traveling with Discover Kazakh Nomads to Altai Tavan Bogd National Park! The stunning landscapes of the Altai mountains, with their snow-capped peaks, vast glaciers, and... read more pristine lakes, were absolutely breathtaking. What made the trip even more special was the opportunity to immerse myself in the rich culture of the Kazakh nomads. Staying in traditional yurts, learning about their ancient customs, and witnessing the majestic art of eagle hunting was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The combination of incredible natural beauty and the warmth of the nomadic people made this journey something I will cherish forever.

  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... read more 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!

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.

  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... read more 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.
