TOUR LEADER & SPECIALIST OF THE HORSE RIDING ADVENTURES

I was born in a beautiful small village named the “Treasure Mountain” in western Mongolia, a true gem where charged with great memories of uncharted nature, wildlife, and its amazing people. I grew up among nomad culture and traditions. So, my childhood was deeply connected with horse riding in the wild. We rode our horses every day for daily duties and long-distance rides across the Great Mongol sand dunes a few times a year when starts school and holidays. We, kids, always had a small fight to ride your fast red horse, "Khuren Mori".  What I learned in childhood among nomads in the most amazing landscape is really fulfills me in my life. It strongly inspired me to choose my future profession in tourism. 

After high school there, I studied Ecotourism management at the Mongolian State University of Science in Ulaanbaatar city. Since my graduation in 2004, I have developed my career as a tour leader and a tour manager for the last 12 years in Mongolia. I continued to study as an English teacher and M.A in linguistics and worked as an instructor at university in the wintertime, while I am working as a tour leader during the summertime. I love to travel and until today have visited Russia, China, South Korea, and the U.S.A

I am truly satisfied born among the unique nomadic culture in western Mongolia, in a beautiful family that formed my passion for travel.  I have been leading horse riding tours, trekking, and family tours with kids throughout Mongolia and I appreciate very deeply the connection we make with our travelers, getting to live with those amazing people either our guests or Mongolians for the years, to learn diverse cultures, life experiences while exploring extraordinary landscapes of our beautiful country. This work has been with high responsibilities comes great pressure while giving me a lot of opportunities to grow in different skills.

So, as a tour leader myself, I regularly face first-hand problems on location. I always wanted to give more comfort, safety, and satisfaction to my guests and to the staff, herders, the horses but also travel more in harmony with nature, a strong desire that led me to found a tour company. 

I am deeply honored to introduce you to Gobi Mountain Lake, its specially selected Western Mongolian destinations, our Outposts, well-designed itineraries, and the service by the experts in our team that will soon mix with exciting journeys that will bring you to the heart of Mongolia.
