- hartmaria0 contributionsHiking in Gobi an incredible 21 days tour with Nurka (Nargajaiv) GuideMongolia for 21 days as incredible. Nurka proved to be a well organised, trusted and a dedicated guide. She speaks very good English and talks with enthusiasm about Mongolia, food, cultured its history as well as providing insight into Mongolia customs. We enjoyed tea parties, games and also got to mix with the locals who were friendly and kind people who showed us their herds and how to make traditional cake. Part of the activities was hiking for 9 days where she led us into touristic sites and wonderful sceneries surrounded by beautiful lakes and panorama views, which thoroughly enjoyed and took many photos!. She was knowledgeable about all the routes we took provided us with a packed and varied programmes, helped organise our yaks and the tents were well equipped with good gear to keep us dry during rainy days. it was an amazing and unforgettable experience! She also had an incredible team who supported her all along including skilful drivers who drove us through unmarked roads in such a vast place, and Boogy the cook, who was enthusiastic and passionate about his cooking sckill he made us delicious food that we enjoyed. All in all I deeply thank Nurka for this wonderful trip were we felt safe and welcome.Our happiness was always her top priority and I highly recommend Nurka as a good and well experienced guide also I think the August month was a best choice to visit Mongolia.Written November 23, 2019
- seppwohlmuth0 contributionsAltai Tours with NurkaI´m a photojournalist from Austria and do a lot of travelling. I´ve been already 6 times to Mongolia and was very lucky that on the last 2 trips in the Altai Mountains Nurka was our Guide. And she was the BEST GUIDE I´ve ever had on all of my journeys. She was extrem good organized and I was also great fun to travel with her. Hopefully I´ll come back soon to this beautiful country and meet Nurka for the next journey Sepp WohlmuthWritten October 14, 2019
