Q – My wife and I are just starting to enjoy traveling and we’d love to form a relationship with your company. It is clear that you value honesty over profits, although I am sure there is a huge market for honesty in your profession. For our first big trip, we’re thinking about traveling to Mongolia for their big annual festival called the Naadam Festival which takes place in the summer. I guess our question is, OK, we think we want to go, we are asking your opinion, but then, how do we do the rather complicated logistics? We are in good health and obviously rather new at this.
A – Fair question. You want to work with a travel consultant with worldwide connections established over many years. We highly recommend a trip to Mongolia. If you are a photographer the Naadam Festival is a must. But if you want to get a real sense of life in the country, this is a high-tourist time you might want to avoid. Accommodations need to be booked far in advance. There is only one company we would work with in Mongolia – Nomadic Expeditions. Their owner has been an advisor to the last seven Prime Ministers and he can open doors that remain closed for others. The process is to coordinate the trip through a US-based travel consultant who will work directly with Nomadic on your behalf. There should be no stress at your end at all.
