The Real Mongolia -
I'm Jess -
What makes us different? Our size. We’re small. We offer freedom and flexibility and bring a touch of individuality to our trips. Our belief in promoting a more responsible and sustainable travel approach makes us different too -
As a team (I am the only westerner) we research, design and operate all aspects of the holidays we offer. We work independently and not through any agency or representative of another company. We are also a registered Mongolian company.
It won’t all go according to plan. It can’t. It’s Mongolia. A country the size of western Europe with a basic infrastructure. It’s challenging for the locals and will challenge you as well. But. Bring your spirit of adventure. Ditch your watch. Be prepared to face irritations and frustrations. Embrace the weather.
Come and experience the vast ‘eternal’ landscapes, the way the locals make their life in this harsh terrain, and the impact all of this has on your daily life. It will restore your sense of the earth’s immensity and your place in it. We look forward to welcoming you.
'Thanks so much for your support and for the care EL took to provide a great experience. A chance to get out into nature and the wilderness that is so good for the soul. Beautiful landscapes, good exploration, and just a really lovely time. I was very impressed with the professionalism of the tour, but that it maintained a relaxed and friendly mood throughout. You've developed a lovely model, and obviously have a great team around you as well.'
Tristan Clements, Private / Tailor made tour, April 2017
‘You organised and delivered a fantastic mix of trips. Who’d have thought Mongolia could offer such a mix over winter? A wonderful trip.Your vision and offerings are both laudable and outstanding and a reflection of your values.’
Viv and Pete McWaters, Extended Winter tour, returning EL guests -
‘Personal service, people who really care, people who are really interested in what they are doing and people who go out of their way to share their love of Mongolia with you!’
Sue Fox, Winter tour -
‘We were so happy with our EL experience. You did such a great job of appropriately setting expectations, and then delivering on those expectations. Our trip was everything we'd hoped for. Thanks for everything..’
Amy Urban -
‘It honestly was a once in a lifetime trip. It was such a unique experience and learning experience. it was an incredible experience and everyone that was apart of the company made us feel welcomed like family.
Rachel Hirsh, Winter tour -
‘Keep at it Jess.......you have great things going. EL is right up there with my favourite small companies (the principals of which have become close friends).’
Pat Blamey, Winter tour -
' The opportunities to meet local people we met were very important in getting to know about Mongolia.
Everything was a revelation. The scenery of Mongolia is stunning and driving through it was so enjoyable.
Visiting the monasteries and seeing the creativity in the landscape'

I really like that EL is a small company and the people in charge are still really connected with what's happening on the ground.’

‘The Essence of Mongolia itinerary was exactly how we expected to have a feel of the country in so short a trip and travelling in just a small fraction of the vastness of the country. Eternal Landscapes was the only travel company I have travelled so far that emphasised on care for the environment and giving back to the community. Eternal Landscapes made our Mongolia trip memorable from start to finish.’
Claudette Morales, Private / Tailor Made Trip, 2016
‘Mongolia is not an easy country to tour. EL took the planning and execution end to end and provided with a top of the class experience.’
Eviatar Halevi, Private / Tailor Made Trip, 2016
‘I believe in using and supporting local people and so I think EL is a top company in this regard , in addition to the fantastic experience that is provided. I would definitely recommend EL to everyone. 100% very satisfied -

‘The overwhelming message that I want you to have, and to take pride in, is that your staff made all the difference (as did your high levels of pre departure responsiveness and service).’
Evangelise Apostolou, Private / Tailor Made Trip, July 2016
‘Attention to individual needs and tailoring of trips to those; responsiveness; realistic representation of self, the trip, and the country; company with character that includes love of and pride in the country; responsible and sustainable travel.’
SABINE CHAI, Family Tour, July 2016
‘It totally met our expectations and beyond. It was so tranquil and remote and we really felt like we were having a real experience rather than going to all the main tourist attractions.’
Imi Bond, Private / Tailor Made Trip, July 2016
'We got to experience Mongolian life and not just see Mongolia from the "comfort" of our car. Camping in the wild, horse trekking, staying with families and sharing in the Mongolian barbecue made us feel as though we weren't so much tourists but rather more like we were friends of friends.
Maria Seele, 2015
'This was by far the best we have experienced. Jess, Turuu, and the whole team are committed to offering a real taste of Mongolia, in a responsible and environmentally-
Viv McWaters, 2015
'Authentic. Poignant. Challenging but very genuine.'
Aiko Michot, 2015
'Would recommend without hesitation. The values of the company. The staff. The product. The care. The itineraries. All excellent.'
Jane McNab, 2015
It is very impressive that you maintain your core values and love for Mongolia over $$.
Tammy Ruddick, 2015
'From the very start I was impressed with the honesty. It was very clear what this travel experience would not be and what it would try to be (without guarantees and thus false promises). It felt very personal.'
'The approach to travelling was refreshing and I really appreciated it: showing the 'real' side of Mongolia, without any pretence.'
Sophie Van Het Erve, 2015
'I have been an independent traveller for more than 40 years but would have wanted nothing different on this trip.'
Naomi Luck, 2015
‘Thank you Jess, for Eternal Landscapes! Your vision and mission sets an example for all other tour companies.'
Peter Lai, 2015
'Someone commented to me, 'Jess makes a difference in the lives of many people in Mongolia.' I could see that.'
Hulda and Kenneth Bridgeman, 2015
