There are hundreds of tour operators in Mongolia. These are the four things that make Rara Avis different, and the reason 40% of our bookings come from returning guests or their referrals.
Zochin is the Mongolian word for the guest. In the nomadic code, every traveller is protected, fed, and welcomed. We operate by that code. Not because it is good marketing. Because it is the culture we come from.
Every guide is our employee. Every vehicle is our fleet. Every property is held by Rara Avis. When something is wrong, our name is on the invoice. When something sings, our team built it.

Every Rara Avis journey contributes to the Rara Avis Forest in Arkhangai. Over 400 trees planted to date, on our way to 2,000 by 2030. Your trip is a direct line to the national Billion Trees pledge.
