Who We Are
Founded in 2010 by Jessica and Turuu, we are a small Mongolian-registered company, handling about 150-200 bookings annually, with a deep commitment to social impact. Our business is driven by a strong ethical framework, aiming to make a positive difference through tourism that preserves the livability of Mongolia.
Each trip featured on our website not only offers an authentic travel experience but also supports our broader mission. We personally research and design every itinerary to foster the skills development of our team and provide sustained support to a diverse range of Mongolian individuals, families, and community projects. Our approach ensures that each experience enriches the lives of those involved without disrupting their daily routines.
By working directly with local communities, we establish long-term partnerships that go beyond conventional tourism, breaking down stereotypes and offering a more nuanced view of Mongolian society. These collaborations are essential to our goal of creating tours that genuinely benefit both visitors and locals alike.
Impactful Travel
… our thoughts, campaigns and stories …
As a business working in tourism, we have a responsibility to help combat problems including those created by tourism itself. We believe that travel can and should be a positive experience for both the visitor and for the destination country itself. One of our core values is to produce positive change within Mongolia.
Although we believe travel has to be beneficial to all concerned we also understand that it is not currently beneficial to our planet. But this is not about cancelling international travel but it is about travelling better – travelling in a more conscious way. As an industry, we need to come together and act to make our sector more sustainable. We’ve recognised that we need to be a part of the solution, we need to do our bit and then some.

Our Mongolia Trips And Holidays
We don’t follow the typical stereotypes of a tour company – we have nothing to do with ‘big groups’, ‘must-sees’ or ‘all-inclusive packages’. Instead, the vast ‘eternal landscapes’ of Mongolia and the broader context within which Mongolians live their lives within those landscapes runs deep through everything we do. If you’re looking to experience the real Mongolia as the locals live it then welcome to the community that is EL. True, Mongolia can challenge as much as it beguiles & we ask you to be prepared to face the same irritations and frustrations as the locals do. But if you do, you’ll fall in love with the immensity that is Mongolia. Explore our website for our Mongolia tours, ideas and inspiration. Don’t see what you’re looking for?
