Mongolian operator
Nomad Planet
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia · 2008 · 15 tours
French-language operator founded in 2008 by the brothers Munkh-Erdene Khurelbaatar (founder and CEO, a board member of the Mongolian Tourism Association) and Munkhbat Khurelbaatar (lead guide). Its stated aim is to support nomadic herding; it works with a network of partner herding families, who receive part of the profits. 15 Mongolia products were listed on 2026-09-23 (discovery, adventure, community, themed, winter and short trips), several with coded group departures from April to October. The homepage says groups are limited to 11 people and that join-in, private and tailor-made trips are offered. An English-language site runs at en.nomad-planet.com.
