I did a similar tour with Yellow Wood but one that incorporated the World Nomad Games at Issyk-Kul. The landscape was of course the star of the show, with an itinerary that allowed us to experience a range of locations, from the Silk-Road splendour of Tash Rabat to the unmatched serenity of Song-Kul, experiences enriched by tour leader Sam and his able crew of Kyrgyz assistants, always aware and attentive but never intrusive. Yurt accomodation was surprisingly comfortable and the food, prepared by local families, delicious and plentiful. I would not hesitate to recommend Yellow Wood to anybody looking for a stimulating, memorable and ultimately exhilarating Kyrgyzstan escapade – particularly if Sam keeps his promise to upgrade the tour bus!Show more

I am thankful to Yellowwood for pulling off a great trip. We covered everything mentioned in the itinerary even though Mongolia was facing a fuel crisis during our visit. Our extensive off-roading trip in the Western Altai was without incident, at a time, when almost all fuel stations we encountered on the road were dry and closed. I also want to especially mention our guide Toogy (Tuvshinjargal Bazarsad) and our car drivers who were very helpful and mindful of our comfort. The overall experience was very good. Mongolia has breathtakingly beautiful terrain. It is heartwarming to see Mongolian cattle roam the steppes as nature originally intended them to. I preferred this provider over local tour operators because I found that their tour descriptions were quite detailed, their itinerary matched my key points of interest, and their customer support provided clear timely responses. I knew that Mongolian weather/terrain is harsh and that they import a lot of their fresh produce. So, I kept my expectations low on food and physical comfort, during the trip (especially the off-roading part). The tour operator has provided reasonable level of comfort throughout the trip.Show more
