In our guests' words
4.9 out of 5 on Tripadvisor. 128 reviews, none of them ours.
★★★★★ A truly unique and amazing experienceFrom the minute they picked up my friends and I from our hotel in Ulaanbaatar, it was clear how much thought and intention had been put into every aspect of the tour. Nyamka and CJ were wonderful tour guides. Even the different lodgings we stayed in over the three days became an interactive educational experience, first staying in traditional gers and getting to know a nomadic family, then a modern ger resort, and lastly a wonderful lodge to close out our last night.
★★★★★ Best expedition everWe did a three week expedition that Rara Avis put together for us two couples aged 65 to 81. We stayed in lodges, gers, hotels, shared time with two different local families who took us hunting with the family's golden eagle on horseback, then went to the local eagle festival twice. If you are the adventurous, regardless of your age, take the time to truly experience Mongolia in all its beauty. I would go again in a heartbeat.
★★★★★ Best trip of my lifeWe did an 11 day tour from Ulaanbaatar to West Mongolia with CJ and Nyamka, and it was honestly one of the best experiences of my entire life. They tailored the entire itinerary to our group's interests, even agreeing when we wanted to skip a night at a hotel in exchange for camping. The best part of it all was the people. Everyone was so open, warm, and eager to help even when situations didn't go as planned.
★★★★★ Mongolia with Rara Avis is a mustThe intentionality, professionalism, insight, and information were all 10/10. It was the perfect balance of fun, relaxation, activity, and learning. We spent one night with a local herder family, a once in a lifetime experience, as well as a night in a very comfortable lodge and another in a classic ger hotel.
★★★★★ Wonderful time exploring Terelj ParkThe tour company was on time and the guide and driver were professional and helpful. The horseback ride through the green woods above the temple and around Turtle Rock was great. We changed the riding pace and I felt safe the entire time. Lunch at their gorgeous lodge was great.
★★★★★ Unforgettable three day Mongolian adventureAt Hustai National Park we were incredibly lucky to see Mongolian wild horses up close, less than 100 metres from our car. Our guide explained everything, from nomadic life to Buddhism and the Mongol Empire, in a way that was both accessible and insightful. Special thanks also to our driver, whose superb driving skills made us feel safe and comfortable at all times.
