Our Story

The Story Behind US

My name is Bataa, and I love sharing the beauty and spirit of Mongolia with travelers. When I started learning English at 20, I found that being a tour guide was a great way to improve my skills and meet people from around the world. That same year, I led my first nine trips — and I fell in love with guiding.

Since then, I’ve led over 200 tours, focusing on horse trekking and exploring Mongolia’s most beautiful places. In 2019, I started this company to offer visitors real and personal experiences that show the true Mongolia.

With us, you’ll do more than see Mongolia — you’ll connect with it. From stunning landscapes to the rich traditions of nomadic life, I’ll take you to places most tourists never visit and introduce you to the amazing people who make this land so special.

Let’s make your time in Mongolia something you’ll never forget. Whether it’s breathtaking views, learning about our culture, or sharing stories by the fire, I’ll help you feel the heart of Mongolia, even for a little while.

"Book with Taiga for an EPIC and AUTHENTIC Mongolia Experience If you’re considering a visit to Mongolia, don’t overthink it and book with Taiga Travel! Bataa, the owner/lead, is an incredible guide who meticulously plans a wonderful adventure and delivers a very fun and authentic experience. We spent 16 days with Bataa and his team, crossing North-western Mongolia on horseback, seeing the tallest mountain in Mongolia, and hunting with eagle hunters in Western Mongolia. We shared many laughs and delicious meals together, feeling like a big family after so many days together. Thanks again, Bataa and team for an incredible experience!

"Welcome to Mongolia ! It was a dream for me to discover Mongolia on horseback. The experience was even more incredible than I had hoped, and one thing's for sure, Bataa had a lot to do with it. Thanks to him, we got to know the traditions and people of Mongolia. He was available 24 hours a day to help us communicate with our guides and helped us, explaining what we should and shouldn't do. He was there for the laughing, the good times but also when we were having a hard time. Perfect guy-de😃 ! I'll definetely do my next trip with him again !

"Culture, wilderness and humor with Bataa If you're looking for an authentic and immersive experience in Mongolia, I highly recommend traveling with Bataa. His expertise, enthusiasm, and humor will leave you with memories to cherish for a lifetime. We travelled through the Altai Mountains from Ulaangom to Olgiy on horseback with Bataa as our guide and it was one of the best experiences I've ever been part of. He was essential for our tour, his experience with the Mongolian wilderness and management of the team made it a beautiful and truly enjoyable experience. Bataa loves to share stories and his culture just as much as he loves to make jokes and laugh. His translation skills are excellent and just from listening to the people he's taking through the wild he's already picking up more languages. His and his awesome team made us feel like part of the family. We are already thinking about going back to Mongolia in a few years and will absolutely book Bataa again. Thanks so much for this beautiful experience.

One of the best trips of my life Bata was our tourguide in June. Not only is he a really lovely man himself, but his guidance, knowledge of the area and overall competence was really delightful - 11/10 would recommend again. Still in contact with him, since it is just enjoyable talking to him, learning about the mongolian way of life as well as being updated about the area. If you have the chance, do it, you will not regret coming here
