A beginner’s guide to Mongolia
22 November 2023
We have known Gulnora since 2003. She watches all our Central Asia and Silk Route trips like a hawk, and has a keen love of her part of the world. We talked to her about her company:
We opened our first office in Kashgar in 2003. Later we opened in Urumqi and Tashkent. I now work from our Tashkent office with my colleagues Natalya and Olga. Many clients know Olga! She loves engaging with them and planning their trips to the last detail.
The whole of Uzbekistan is my favourite place! I love my country but especially I like magic Bukhara and our small picturesque mountain villages. In Xinjiang I like Tashkurgan and the Karakorum Highway, and of course Kashgar is fantastic too.
We are looking at the possibility of developing rural tourism which is very interesting, but also new combined tours with special themes like textiles, archaeology, cuisine. We were also one of the pioneers of visiting Shipton’s Arch, near Kashgar in China.
I am sure that the best way of organising your journey is too make direct reservations with a local tour company. You get information from them first hand and can be sure that the people who corresponded with you, afterwards will be directly responsible for your journey.
Come to Central Asia! We look forward to welcoming all our guests. This is a special part of the world. Come, enjoy it, then tell all your friends and family on your return!
