Sunpath Travel

We had an incredible 7-day Gobi Desert and Terelj National Park Tour from October 1-7. Doljmaa, the operator/owner, was knowledgeable, professional, and pleasant. Our guide Suvd was engaging, well-informed about the geological formations and history, and an amazing chef. Mr Dawa, our driver, ensured our safety and provided a great Mongolian experience. This tour surpassed my expectations. Contact them without hesitation for a comprehensive exploration of Mongolia. You won't be disappointed.

Thanks to Mando (guide) and Sanjaa (driver), our trip to Mongolia with Sunpath was filled with wonderful memories.

Doljmaa is very accomodating. She arranged the itinerary with a good mix of nomad and tourist camps for us to have different experiences.

Mando took extremely good care of each and everyone of us.
He made sure we ate well and slept well. Every meal was thoughtfully arranged as we have special instructions. After a long day on the road, he never failed to check on our ger to ensure all is in order and we are comfortable. When we stayed in nomad ger, he came a few times past midnight to ensure the fire was burning so that we are warm. Needless to say, he is very experienced with history of Mongolia.

Sanjaa is a man of few words. He exhibited his strength in his driving skills. Driving through the rough terrains is a piece of cake for him. Throughout the nine days, his safe driving allowed us to enjoy the ride and was able to stop along the way for lovely pictures. Not forgetting our sudden requests for toilet stops!

For those looking for an authentic experience in Mongolia, travel with Sunpath. They are experienced and they take good care of your every needs.

I opted for Sunpath Travel to go to a day trip to Terelj National Park. The tour guide was professional and kind. The owner was also very kind and met with us before the trip and called us to make sure we were okay after the trip. Everything went smoothly and I really appreciate the efforts the driver, tour guide, and owner took to make us feel comfortable.

Recommended by friends, and I would definitely recommend it to friends coming to Mongolia in the future. Would like to commend our driver and guide, Dagva and Bayalagmaa, for filling our trip with fun memories and warm hospitality!

Communication is top-notch as well. From enquiry to booking to the end of the trip, Doljmaa is always there to answer our questions, no matter how insignificant the questions were.

Looking forward to another trip with Sunpath soon! ♥ Rather than the professionalism (which Sunpath definitely has!), it's the feeling that we were well taken care of like family and able to experience Mongolian with locals, like locals.

A friend and I contacted Sunpath before our trip to Mongolia to ask them to customise our stay there. Doljmaa was extremely accommodating and found a perfect plan for us including the Gobi, Central Mongolia, and Lake Khüvsgül. Puuje, our guide, and Baagi, our driver, made our experience amazing, explaining everything we needed to know but also making us feel at home. 100% recommended!

If you want to see Mongolië, book a tour with Sunpath! I had an amazing time!
It's complety fine to come to Mongolia now. No complicated rules here regarding Covid. For other countries we had to do quite some admin, but luckily not here.
We had a super driver, Batcha, and a wonderful guide Mando, he gave so much insight in this country and it's culture.
As I don't eat meat they made sure I got a vegetarian meal, thank you! When it was a cold night they arranged heating in our Ger. The experiences with our host families was the best too! We learned some nice drinking games, got the experience of local food and drinks.
Thanks again for everything! This is a holiday I will remember forever!

Sunpath Mongolia gave us the best service and we love everything they have done for us to have a memorable experience. We commend the whole team for taking care of my wife & I while in Mongolia. Doljmaa, the owner was very gracious. She answered all our queries in a timely fashion and we did not worry at all coz she handled everything. From our airport transfer, to the Gobi Desert Tour, to our accommodation- we cannot complain. We were taken care of from A to Z. Our flight arrived in Ulaan Bataar earlier than scheduled but we went out and our driver, Patma is already waiting. The hostel, although located in an old building is well-maintained and provided with all necessary amenities. The location is perfect and in the heart of the city, close to Sukhbatar Square. Our Gobi Desert Tour is everything we dreamed of and more and the best adventure of our lifetime. We cannot think of a better guide and driver. Our driver, we fondly call him Mr. Z has a quiet demeanor but we feel safe all throughout and even on what seem like impossible terrains he drives expertly. Our guide Naya, is the sweetest. She took care of us. We love her cooking and all the facts she has imparted about our destination and their history. They even pulled some favors for me to have the most memorable birthday. They ordered cake and have it delivered to our Ger on my birthday. Doljmaa was there for us before we arrive, since day 1 up to our last day to send us off. Highly recommended! We would love to come back to Mongolia and book with them again.

Sunpath has a wide offer of Mongolia-based excursions. I believe this is a very good choice for anyone aiming in this direction in their international travels.
They have a well-organised net of collaborators throughout the country, which makes Sunpath a solid option when you want to be sure everything will happen according to plan.
Special thanks to Baggy and Nara who accompanied me in the trip to the northwestern Mongolia. The excursion was a one-in-a-lifetime experience, and I felt taken care of throughout the whole time. I think that is the most important thing when someone decides to go on such an adventure. Sunpath may be recommended in this regard. Furthermore, you can really tell that the driver and the guide are true-born Mongolians, eager to share their cultural heritage with you. That is really awesome to have while on such a trip.

The biggest disadvantage is the communication prior to the trip. Until the last day I wasn't sure if I'm not getting scammed. I want to underscore: I was not, and the trip was great. But there were some tremendous issues with communication with the organizer and that made me feel very insecure whether this trip will even happen. The English of the tour guides is really acceptable, especially considering how difficult it is to communicate in English in Mongolia in general, so do not be afraid of that - you will have a reliable English-speaker on the way with you during your excursion. But it does not apply to the communication before the trip starts. You need to make a lot of effort to understand what is actually being arranged and that may be stressful to you (it sure was for me).

We were a group of 6 and did the 3 day/2 night tour. Our guide, Andy, was exceptional. Doljmaa was quick to respond to all my emails and made organizing easy. We would highly recommend Sunpath based on our experience!

We did the 21-day Highlights of Mongolia tour in June 2019 and had an amazing time. Our guide (Andy) and driver (Bataa) were both so kind and did all they could to ensure we had a good time. The accommodations are usually very basic, but that's part of the adventure. The places we saw on this tour were just amazing - we will never forget our time in Mongolia! I would not hesitate to travel with Sunpath again in the future.

After searching, checking and comparing several local tour agencies in Mongolia, for nearly a year, I decided to go with Sunpath for this first visit to Mongolia.
As a Solo Traveller (this time) I needed to feel totally reassured and looked after from A to Z and also I wanted expertise and reliability in all services provided. Sunpath is all this and so much more. Doljmaa, the Head of Sunpath made me feel that I was in good hands, since our first emails when I requested info about tours, prices, etc. She did everything to find a perfect Tour for me, matching my dates and budget. She even coordinated a shuttle service at my arrival at Ulaanbaatar international airport. I had no need to worry for absolutely anything, which for me is fundamental when travelling far from home and alone. Mongolia is absolutely stunning and totally safe but you do need a Tour Guide and a Driver. You don’t want to get lost in the middle of nowhere and also lost in translation. Mongolian people are extremely kind and friendly.
I did Gobi and it was just breathtaking. Stayed at the Gers with the Nomad families and it was an amazing experience.
My Tour Guide Bella was adorable and very professional so was my Driver Baagii who drove us safely throughout the wilderness of Gobi and Central Mongolia.
I had so much fun with them. I felt I was travelling with friends tbh and they really pampered me during the whole time.
I had the most amazing time ever and I can’t thank Sunpath Team enough. I will definitely return as there is so much more to discover still (West) and of course I will not hesitate to reach out to Sunpath again.
I therefore highly recommend Sunpath.

After searching for and contacting many travel agencies, Sunpath was the only one willing to organise a tour for us without hassles. Doljmaa was very accommodating of our requests, even though we wanted to travel off season. She was also very communicative over email, and responded quickly to all our requests and questions. Our tour guide Alma was amazing, and our driver was an expert navigator. Since I was a vegetarian, Alma made sure to cook veggie food for me everyday, which was very thoughtful. We would definitely recommend Sunpath to everyone looking for a special Mongolian adventure.

Thank you Sunpath for giving us a memorable experience in Orkhon Valley!

I did a 5 day 4 night tour with Sunpath in April of 2019. It was just myself and my daughter on the trip.

Communication with Doljmaa on initial questions and confirming meet up times and location were timely, easy and straighforward. All questions were answered and suggestions on things to do and places to visit were made which was greatly appreciated.

We decided to stay at the Novotel for the day we arrived in Ulaanbaatar and for the night after our tour finished. That will be a separate review but briefly - it was a great location and really nice hotel. The rooms were fantastic.

We had a driver and guide (I hope I got the spelling correct - driver - Bahghee and guide - Chengoon). Both of these guys were great! They really made sure we were comfortable with everything. They provided great explanations of where we were going and what we were doing and where we were. When we stopped to do some shopping on our way out of the city they made great recommendations on things to consider buying like single roll TP (toilet paper) as well as on the types of gifts (read in blogs it is custom to bring the nomadic families small gifts) to bring the families we were staying with. In hindsight, I wish I brought more gifts for the families. The host families woke up in the middle of the night multiple times to keep the fire and heat going for us (it was cold in the night during our visit in April).

During our tour both Bahghee and Chengoon were really communicative and engaging. We felt really comfortable with them and enjoyed our time touring Mongolia and speaking with them.

The sleeping bag they provided was comfortable and warm. This part really depends on the type of sleeper you are, if you prefer to be warmer then maybe bring your own.

Overall, Sunpath was great. From the initial communication with our questions right up to the drop off back at the hotel everyone we encountered with Sunpath was professional and genuinely nice. We had a wonderful time and I are thinking of going back for a longer tour and would not hesitate to use Sunpath again.

For us, our experience with Sunpath was amazing!

I booked a 5-day private tour through the Gobi with this company in January. The communication via email was quick and efficient. The tour guide and driver were very friendly and I really appreciated that they took a lot of effort to give me a good experience during the tour. The driver (Buggy) was experienced and was checking his car every day. Very fun person!
Without any hesitation, I recommend this company.

Some remarks for potential visitors:
- be aware that there is no warm shower during the cold season. I was totally fine with that.
- mongolian cuisine is meat heavy so bring dental floss with you
- tip your guide and driver properly. Do your research about the amount.
- sort out the payment before you start the tour. There are services that allow you to transfer the money for a low fee but it will take about a week.

We were on a tour in Gobi&Central Mongolia with Sunpath Tours during August 2019. It's a very reliable operator; the tour we did went great, our driver and guide were experienced and worked hard to make the best out of our trip. All, at a reasonable price!

Excellent service and the guide was super nice. We had no idea what was the plan until the night before the tour so this was a bit stressful but in the end we had a blast.

Mongolia is such a beautiful country with plenty of history. We're glad we got to experience it with Sunpath incredible team.

Had an excellent time on their 7 day gobi desert tour. Hostel is also very clean and staff are helpful. Definitely recommend both the hostel and the tours!

Great tour operator

Recurrimos a Sunpath por recomendación y, tras consultar con varias agencias, nos decantamos sin dudar por ellos porque ofrecían la experiencia más auténtica y así pudimos constatarlo.

Desde el principio, la manager de la empresa, Doljma, nos atendió con total profesionalidad, cercanía y adaptándose a nuestras peticiones y necesidades.

Y Baagi fue el que hizo, dursnte el viaje, que la experiencia fuera muchísimo más allá de nuestras expectativas: conductor, guía, profesor de mongol y casi padre.

Volveremos sin duda: ya lo hemos intentado pero no hemos cuadrado las fechas, pero por supuesto que lo haremos.

Gracias al equipo de Sunpath por darnos una de las mejores experiencias que hemos tenido. 😍
