A Life-Changing Journey Through Mongolia – Perfectly Organized by Amicus Travel - I recently spent one unforgettable week exploring Mongolia with Amicus Travel, and I can confidently say it was the most remarkable travel experience of my life. From the first email inquiry to the final airport drop-off, every detail was handled with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care. Seamless Planning & Communication Before I even set foot in Ulaanbaatar, the Amicus team impressed me with quick, clear communication and thoughtful itinerary planning. They listened carefully to my interests—cultural immersion, nature, and a bit of adventure—and customized a trip that exceeded all expectations. Every transfer, meal, and activity ran like clockwork, allowing me to simply relax and enjoy Mongolia. Immersive Nomadic Experiences The highlight was staying with a nomadic family in a traditional yurt (ger). This was not a tourist show but an authentic window into daily life on the steppe. We shared meals, helped with chores, and even joined them on motorcycle rides across the endless plains. Riding horses through the Orkhon Valley as the sun set behind the mountains felt like stepping back in time. Breathtaking Destinations Amicus curated an itinerary that balanced cultural sites and natural wonders perfectly: • Erdene Zuu Monastery & Kharkhorin – a deep dive into Mongolia’s rich history. • Orkhon Valley – sweeping landscapes, waterfalls, and a sense of peace that photos can’t capture. • Hustai National Park – where I was lucky enough to watch the legendary wild Takhi horses in their natural habitat. • Terelj National Park – dramatic rock formations, serene rivers, and the chance to sleep in a beautifully kept ger with underfloor heating. The Heart of the Trip – Our Guide Billy I must give special praise to Billy, the company’s manager and my guide for the week. Billy is, without exaggeration, the best Mongolian person alive. His knowledge of history, culture, and wildlife is encyclopedic, but what truly sets him apart is his kindness and dedication. Anything I asked for—no matter how small—he arranged immediately. Whether it was an impromptu photo stop, a last-minute snack run, or simply sharing stories around the campfire, Billy made every moment richer and more memorable. Professionalism with a Personal Touch Traveling in a vast country like Mongolia can feel daunting, but Amicus Travel turned it into pure happiness. Comfortable transportation, excellent meals, spotless accommodations, and a team that genuinely cares about their guests—all combined to create an experience that felt effortless yet profound.
