The art of flirting the Kazakh way.

Kyz Kuar is a horseback chasing game between a man and a woman. The man’s goal is to steal a peck on the cheek and escape unscathed to the finish line, while the woman’s goal is to tag him back with the help of a healthy but playful lash across the back with a whip.

Join our small group travels in October to witness the fascinating display of Kazakh culture at Golden Eagle Festival, and experience the serene beauty of the mountainous western Mongolia.

Aglag Buteel Monastery, just 100kms (62 miles) drive out to the northwest of Ulaanbaatar, is home to more than 80 Buddha figures and mythical creatures carved into the giant mountain rocks and cliffs, including Norjunma, the Goddess of Prosperity and Wealth pictured here. These meticulously carved figures are the work of the late Purevbat lama and his students. While a fairly young monastery that opened its doors in 2014, it has fast become a favorite rest stop for those traveling north out of Ulaanbaatar, known for its stunning view of the surrounding mountains and forests. If you only have a day to spare for a trip out of Ulaanbaatar, we highly recommend this serene and spiritual spot.

Aymuldir Dayinbek is a 13 year old eagle huntress in Sagsai soum of Bayan-Ulgii province. She has been training birds of prey since she was five years old. The experience has been as much a journey of learning and growth for her as it has been for the bird. Having started with a falcon when she was five, she’s worked her way up to the bigger bird of prey. For Kazakhs of Mongolia, eagle hunting is a point of pride and a cherished tradition that gets handed down to each successive generation.

Aymuldir is from a family of eagle masters going back three generations. One of her uncles, Jenisbek has made a name for himself as an Asian eagle-hunting champion and was dubbed Mongolia’s “most eligible eagle hunter” in a CNN article.
Aymuldir hopes to prove her eagle-hunting skills in the Golden Eagle Festival, the main event for eagle hunters.

Our small group journey to the Golden Eagle Festival (October 1-8, 2024) is now open for booking. Visit our website for a detailed itinerary and booking:

In April 2024, WildMongolia team organized a fundraiser to help care for two orphaned brown bear cubs in Khuvsgul region. This evening, we raised over 12,500,000 MNT, including auctioning off the right to name the cubs, who were then named “Borya” and “Pepe”, and a beautiful painting of the cubs by J. Shijirbaatar, a local artist.

In addition to food, the funds were spent on purchasing satellite collars to monitor and protect the bear cubs.

We are happy to announce that the bear cubs have just been released back into the wild on May 28, 2024.

Brown bears play crucial roles in keeping the ecological balance of Mongolia. Their numbers have been dwindling due to illegal hunting and encroachment of human habitation into their territories. As a responsible tour operator, we pride ourselves on showcasing the pristine beauty of Mongolia, which stands as our greatest strength, and we felt it was our duty to contribute to the preservation and protection of wildlife through this effort.

We thank all our supporters and donors for their generosity.

WildMongolia's friends in the north, the dedicated park rangers of the Red Taiga protected area led by a renowned conservationist and veteran park ranger Tumursukh Jal, have been adopting, caring for and reintroducing orphaned brown bear cubs back into the wild for the past two years. Pepe and Borya (shown in the photo), the class of 2024, are going to be set back into the wild valley of the bears in June. Until then, the park rangers will feed, care and climatize these cubs for their release. But conservation does not stop with the release. There are satellite collars and wildlife cameras that help monitor their movement, ensuring they are safe from poachers and protective nomadic herders. There's Tumursukh and his team of park rangers spending more than 200 days a year on horseback patrolling the stunningly beautiful and wild Taiga through rain and snow, night and day.

Before the cubs are released back into the wild, we invite you to be a part of this expert-led conservation journey. Through this specially-designed program, see the two bear cubs from up close (but not too close, as getting too comfortable in human presence would be detrimental to their survival in the wild), meet Darkhad shamans for insights on this most ancient spiritual practice, ride the sturdy Mongolian horse along Darkhad Valley and meditate on the serenely beautiful shores of Khuvsgul Lake, referred to as "mother ocean" by Mongolians for its seemingly endless vastness and clear blue waters. End the journey on a high note in Ulaanbaatar, the capital city, exploring this eclectic urban metropolis referred to as "felt city" by architects due to its mixture of modern high-risers, hip young crowd, nomadic felt gers and new migrants from all over the country.

All profits from "Travel for Conservation" will be donated to the park rangers' conservation efforts in the Red Taiga protected area.

Happy Tsagaan Sar to you!
May your nine white wishes come true!

Today, we are celebrating the Mongolian Lunar New Year, also known as Tsagaan Sar. Tsagaan Sar is a coming-of-spring celebration marked by extended family reunions. Mongolians take turns visiting their elders during the first three days of the Lunar New Year to pay their respects. A traditional saying, expressing good wishes during these times, is "May all your nine white wishes come true," often conveyed by elders to the younger generation along with “tsatsal”.

Tsatsal, meaning "sprinkling," is a time-honored Mongolian custom symbolizing devotion and offering. During the spring, the milk from animals that have given birth for the first time of the season is collected and offered to Tengri, the sky, and Mother Nature using a wooden tsatsal ladle. This act of sprinkling milk around the household invokes blessings of prosperity and well-being for both the family and their animals.

Our ancestors recognized the regularity of these wishes and left a blessing to remind future generations that they had achieved them, and that they would be blessed with “nine white wishes".

They are:
Health
Wealth
Knowledge
Friendship
Companionship
Offspring
Self-Empowerment (Sovereignty)
Peace & Tranquility
Eternal Life

From the vast steppe of Mongolia, WildMongolia is wishing you "nine white wishes"!

WildMongolia team is thrilled to share the success of the annual AmCham Mongolia CSR Awards (held in December 2023, a perfect end to a fruitful year), an event that showcased the outstanding dedication of member organizations fostering sustainability and innovation in Mongolia. WildMongolia Corporate Services played a behind-the-scenes role in orchestrating this remarkable evening.

Held at the Shangri-La event ballroom for over 250 guests, it was a full house attended by representatives from public, private, and civil sectors, including honorary foreign ambassadors and representatives of the Government of Mongolia. This annual event, held to highlight and celebrate CSR initiatives, serves as a catalyst to foster social responsibility and community engagement throughout the private sector and is one of the key projects of the American Chamber of Commerce, Mongolia.

Our WildMongolia team drew on our unique understanding of the local arts scene and our expertise in large-scale event management to propose and present a high-level, highly entertaining, and original concept event. We engaged many talented entertainers for this special evening from the refreshingly talented Deaf Cats to the classy Tenuun and his Big Band. Among the highlights of the program was a mix of American Jazz music and dance performances, and a revitalized Mongolian classic: a modern interpretation of the 1970’s iconic music and dance Jalam Khar performed by the contemporary dance troupe D-Dance. The perfect emcee, also a WildMongolia talent, and flawless event management made for a successful night.

Billion Dollar Industry: Mongolia's Thriving Tourism Sector
From vast landscapes to rich cultural heritage, Mongolia quietly beckons adventurers from every corner of the world. But did you know that tourism in this untamed land is not just a traveler's paradise but also a game-changer for its economy?

Fostering a New Area of Economic Growth: By the end of 2023, Mongolia's tourism industry is poised to become a cornerstone of the nation's economy. Transitioning from reliance on traditional sectors, tourism is shaping a vibrant and dynamic 'rainbow economy.'

Government Initiatives: With the launch of groundbreaking tourism initiatives, including a new international airport and the comprehensive 'Welcome to Mongolia' campaign, the Mongolian government aspires to attract over a million visitors in 2023. Designating 2023-2025 as 'Years to Visit Mongolia,' the government's focus on air transport liberalization, digital technology integration, adherence to tourism standards, and global promotion has yielded remarkable results.

Charting the Skies: In 2013, over 10% of the national budget was allocated to a substantial airport expansion project, responding to the surge in business travelers and limitations of the existing Chinggis Khaan International Airport. With Japanese support, the new airport aims to fuel economic growth by accommodating a larger volume of visitors. Featuring a 3,600-meter runway, a 35,300-square-meter passenger terminal, and cutting-edge infrastructure, this project is set to redefine Mongolia's travel landscape.
