Malaysia and Mongolia Tours and Trips

Awesome trip, a unique experience. Every aspect felt special from start to finish. Bata and his support team did everything possible to give us the best Mongolian experience. A great blend of cycling, culture and freshly cooked traditional food along the way.

Thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Some of the ger camps were better than others. Didn’t like the really big, busy ones as they didn’t give the feel of really being away from it all. Understandably, some of the journeys were long but the days were broken up well by comfort/coffee/lunch stops/visits etc and I have to say our 4 drivers were magnificent. Our tour leader needed to be a bit more organised and we had to keep prompting him to be more proactive in keeping us updated and checking that the whole group were still together in busy areas. Not easy, I know, keeping a group of 15 people organised! However, he was a very pleasant and likeable chap.

Brilliant! Lots of different activities and locations to suit all travellers as it was a real mix of island life, cultural town and major city. Trip managers and local guides are very knowledgeable and genuinely care about your trip experience. Highly recommend.

This was an amazing trip, the magnificence of this country, people and culture was awe inspiring. Our drivers were kind, thoughtful, considerate and caring, excellent drivers on rough terrain, always cheerful and willing to help. Four very special men. Our guide was not up to Explore standard. He did not give clear instructions, was vague about the days activities, was distracted while using his camera rather than explaining to us the significance of the sites we were visiting or making sure we were safe, he needed to be reminded several times to do head counts to make sure everyone was accounted for. As a group we did raise this with him, he smiled and nodded and was ok for a few hours, but….. While he seemed a nice young man, he was lucky he had a group of really experienced and well read travellers otherwise the level of frustration with him would have been much worse. It was our holiday and we got on with it, for me it did not distract from the experience, but he did not do his job well.

The highlights for me were seeing orangutans (including babies!) in the wild, plus the rare pygmy elephants, alongside so much other incredible wildlife. Our local leader and guides were outstanding – not only were they brilliant at spotting animals I never would have seen on my own, but they also shared fascinating insights into Borneo’s wildlife and culture, which really enriched the whole experience. I loved the variety of activities too – from hiking through the rainforest to snorkelling in crystal-clear waters, spotting wildlife on boat trips, exploring charming towns, and relaxing on pristine white beaches. It truly offered a little bit of everything. This trip was magical from start to finish, and the orangutans in particular were such a special sight. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for adventure, wildlife, and unforgettable memories.

A wonderful experience in Western Mongolia. So well supported by a great team of people. Our guide Chimge was beautiful, as were the cooks and drivers who worked so hard to ensure we were well looked after. We appreciated having the camels and horses carry our gear on the treks on the more difficult parts of the terrain and in case of injury or illness. I came away with so many photos from the Western Panorama trip. The tents provided were good and the felt sleeping pads helped make it a comfortable night's sleep. We had ample food despite being in remote locations.
