About Us

We are a very small company with the only desire to experience Mongolia the way it should be experienced. Our goal is not to make a lot money, but rather take you to areas where foreigners are sometimes not seen for years, or sometimes never seen. When I, an American, first went to these areas, an old man wanted to see the foreigner as he heard foreigners have three eyes. He had never seen a foreigner.

There are only two of us. One is a Mongolian lady, half Chinese and half Mongolian who grew up on the grasslands of Hilum Bur. She speaks more than enough English to be understood plus, of course, fluent Chinese and Mongolian.

The other is an American doctor. He, of course, speaks fluent English.

Both have travelled to these areas many times, and know the area, hotels, nature, and so on very well

Because there are only two persons, and no office staff, prices are less expensive. Our "office" is email (sometimes wireless via a Ada), and cell phones. Compare prices. We have. The prices for compatible services is the same as a "tourist" experience.

However, you must use email to contact us. Please understand, one or both of us may be unreachable by telephone. We will answer email ASAP. We try to check email daily. With a wireless PDA, it is easy.

We thrive on independent travellers who can "swing with changes". However, we know some want a defined trip, so we have put together two itineraries. Either can be changed, altered, or expanded. It depends on you and your time.

We need a deposit to plan and know you are coming. Our deposit is 20% of anticipated costs. Please pay by PalPal, wire, or Western Union. We can get it from there. China has no direct method of paying online by credit cards. Our goal is to have you pay near cost, plus the expenses of one person. We have listed an approximate price, and you can plan on that. However, please understand your cost will be plus or minus 10% of this. China is a cash economy, so bring cash on your trip. Travelers checks are fine in Beijing, but not in Inner Mongolia.

However, here is the contact information:

email: Sales@TravelInnerMongolia.Com
Website: www.TravelInnerMongolia.Com

Mongolian lady: +86-136-010-29468
American Doctor: +86-135-525-15466

These are China Mobile Phone Numbers. You can dial these number directly in China anyplace.
Hotel room, pay phone, etc. Outside of China this is a long distance call to China. You must add the appropriate prefix numbers. For example, in the USA you would call:
011-86-010-136-010-29468

011- is the International Prefix for calling Internationally.
-86- is the country code for China.
010 is the city code for Beijing. Our telephones are based out of Beijing.

If you are in another country, you will have to ask your telephone company.
Remember, outside of China, this is an international Long Distance call.

Why travel with us?

Because we know the area best, have travelled extensively, and speak Mongolian. Simple. Many people speak Mongolian, but do not know the area. Even 10 miles away. Did you know that although theoretically Mongolian is the same language in Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia, it is different. The key is the ability to speak fluent Mongolian. Ask around. Even "local guides" may not. I have not met one yet after travelling in these areas many times.

What can we offer

Customized tours to little visited areas. We have traveled extensively to Thailand, India, Laos, China, Sri Lanka, etc. and know what to provide in a tour. We understand the needs of Westerners, even in the country.

As said earlier, we thrive on independent travellers to little visited places, acting mainly as guides, helpers, and translators. We can arrange a "fancier" trip, but this must be to larger towns and cities, not the country. If you want to make a day trip into the country, you can.
