“I joined Nomadic Trail’s horseback archery tour in August, and it was an experience I will never forget.
From the moment I arrived, our tour guide, Baljka, went above and beyond to ensure that all my needs – both big and small – were met with care and attention. His warmth, positivity and hospitality made the journey feel personalised and special.
Our coach, Turu, is equally remarkable. His kindness and extensive experience shone through in every session, making the training process both enjoyable and enriching.
Visiting Mongolia for the first time was obviously eye-opening, but the connections and friendships made during this trip have made this experience utterly unforgettable. I look forward to returning next year.” Rachel Ma, from Hong Kong
