Where we go
Destinations that stay with you forever
The Gobi Desert
Golden dunes, towering cliffs and the roaming Bactrian camel.
Lake Khövsgöl
Crystal alpine water cradled by Siberian pine forest.
The Altai Mountains
Snow-capped peaks and the proud Kazakh eagle hunters.
Ulaanbaatar
Where golden monastery roofs meet a modern capital.
The Nomad Friends way
Not just a trip — a welcome into nomadic life
We're a small team of Mongolian guides who grew up on the steppe. We share the country we love through the people who make it extraordinary.
Sleep in a real ger
Stay in traditional felt yurts with herding families, not tourist camps.
Born-and-raised guides
Our guides are nomads themselves, fluent in the land, language and legends.
Low-impact travel
Small groups, fair pay for local hosts, and respect for fragile grasslands.
Off the beaten track
We go where the tour buses cannot — deep into the steppe and desert.
Traveller stories
Loved by travellers from around the world
“The most authentic travel experience of my life. Waking up in a ger, riding horses with our guide's family — it felt like coming home to a place I'd never been.”
Sofia Alvarez
Heart of the Steppe
“Nomad Friends took us somewhere no guidebook could. The eagle hunters welcomed us like old friends. Unforgettable from start to finish.”
James Whitaker
Eagle Hunters of the Altai
“Every detail was thought through, yet nothing felt staged. The Gobi at sunrise on camelback is an image I'll carry forever.”
