I'm Mendee — a local Mongolian girl from Uvs who knows this province inside and out. Having lived in Australia, I'm your English-speaking expert here!

Travel with me in a private small group of 2–6 for a personalized, immersive experience across glacial peaks, alpine lakes, hidden waterfalls, and golden desert dunes — breathtaking places almost no tourists have ever seen.

We use two vehicles for your comfort and safety: a Toyota RAV4 for Day 1 airport transfer, then a rugged UAZ 4x4 for Days 2–7 deep in Uvs Province's wilderness.

Flexible scheduling, personalized service, and safety-focused wilderness drivers make every journey unforgettable.

Pricing (per person, 7 days, all-inclusive):

1–2 people: $2,000/person
3–4 people: $1,500/person
5–6 people: $1,200/person
