Having read so much about Mongolia, I had some idea of what to expect. But the entire experience exceeded far beyond my expectations. I am so grateful to Sunpath Mongolia for organising the entire trip & leaving me with some unique & beautiful memories. I am compelled to give a detailed feedback to do some justice to the experience provided by the entire team.
- Starting with CEO Doljmaa Songorov who so patiently organised the entire itinerary with me over 100+ email exchanges for over a month before the trip. She was so proactive in her response, listened to all my queries and answered in detail to my full satisfaction, and suggested all possible solutions to make an itinerary both practical & suitable to what I wanted to do & see in Mongolia. This is not an easy task in a country like Mongolia where distances are huge & especially in winter when daylight is limited & weather unpredictable. Yet she managed to give me a perfect itinerary after a month-long discussion, including airport transfers. And moreover I was so glad to meet her in person on arriving in Mongolia.
- Coming next to my tour guide Uyanga Dorj/Dungaa - she was instrumental in making my trip such a memorable one. I cannot thank her enough. Such a lovely & caring personality. I was initially nervous about spending 9 days in the nomadic lands of Mongolia, but Dungaa (together with hospitality offered by Mongolian people) made it such a lovely experience that I felt at home throughout the trip. She was so attentive & responsive to all my requests from food & stay to all places & activities I wanted to see, I am myself amazed that I was able to do all of that. Equally commendable is her knowledge of all the sightseeing places & Mongolian culture as well as the best spots for views & local tips for hiking gorges & sand dunes. She is so passionate about everything whether landscape or history, & our thoughts were so aligned that I never felt like a client but more like a friend travelling Mongolia together. She was very patient too, letting me enjoy the tour at my own pace even when I was tired & fatigued on few days. And lastly, she is a great cook too that enabled me to have some of the best authentic local Mongolian dishes cooked by her.
- And finally to George, our driver - equally instrumental in making my trip memorable. Driving off-road in Mongolia covering huge distances in all sorts of weather & daylight conditions is no easy task. But George being such an experienced driver, he made it look so smooth & easy that I was never worried about the drive at all. Whether crossing streams, or driving on sand & snow, George was able to glide past so smoothly. And his expertise in off-road navigation is commendable, being able to reach all destinations without losing the way or time. Moreover, he was very caring & attentive to all my requests for various places that I wanted to see. And he was so kind (with Uyanga) to gather everything & cook the Mongolian specialty Khorkhog on the last dinner that I was pleased beyond expectation.
It is a long feedback, but this is how I truly felt. I would recommend Sunpath Mongolia to anyone wishing to see & enjoy Mongolia like a Mongolian & have this one-of-a-kind experience.
Thanks again to Doljmaa, Uyanga & George for giving me beautiful memories. I hope to join them again on my next visit to Mongolia.Written November 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

My guides and drivers on both trips were wonderful. They were knowledgeable about the area we were visiting, friendly, and attentive to my interests and needs. Accommodations were comfortable and we had plenty of time at each venue visited to 'Discover Mongolia.' I congratulate Discover Mongolia on their 20 years of business and hope to return to this beautiful country some day and travel with them again.Written December 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Go040132108141 contributionI was provided with a lovely introduction to Mongolia for a Business trip. It was a pleasantly surprising uncommon level of a hospitable welcome that immediately stirred me to want to revisit, which I plan to do in the very near future. Much of my time was spent within the city. Next time it will be more balanced with Ulaanbaadtar's natural beauty. Thank you.!Written November 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
