Here are some of our featured reviews from previous travellers
Jess Muir
From the United States, 2022
My 2022 trip to Mongolia with Keltic Nomad was one of the highlights of my life. An amazing experience being embedded in the horse culture of a beautiful land with some of the most capable and genuine people I’ve ever met. The Mongolian staff and my fellow travelers became fast and lifelong friends immediately and we felt like a big traveling family as we crossed the amazing countryside on our plucky little horses. I can’t recommend the experience highly enough and would go back in a heartbeat.
Alex Lockwood
From Australia, 2022
When I first signed up to go to Mongolia I didn’t know how many adventures I would be having exploring the beautiful country from lovely sunny days to hail and rain the day whole thing always brings a smile when I think about it. Riding some amazing horses and meeting new people that I hope some will become life long friends.
Lulu Blumenkopf
From Germany, 2022
The landscape is beautiful and the horses are just fantastic. A very well organized trip on fast and sure-footed horses! The Mongolian tour guides, as well as the whole team, gave you the feeling of being in very good hands. Mongolia: a country to fall in love with!!!
Petia Karabiberova
From Bulgaria, 2023
Mongolia itself is a wonder and a whole new universe to explore, with so much unknown and curious, and at times with challenging weather conditions. Having a team of caring and experienced people to make you feel safe was crucial - and we had exactly that with Keltic Nomad on our midsummer 10 days tour last year. Amazing experience, truly one of a lifetime. Heart-worthy thanks to the whole crew for making it flow from start to end!
Ali Nomani
From Pakistan, 2023
What a beautiful place to ride through. And an amazing, always smiling kind of team. We got the best horses, training on how to ride them, enforcement of safety and overall a very chill vibe to the ride. Not the kind of riding where you are pressed to run and wake up every morning and get going. Feels both like a vacation and an adventure together.
Abi Hunt
From Scotland, 2023
Mongolia is truly the land of freedom and I wouldn’t choose anyone other than the amazing people at Keltic Nomad to show me the most amazing off-track routes - both for group tours and solo adventuring. I joined KN for some group horse riding touring, and it was organized brilliantly with vehicle support and very hospitable and caring families. The horses are very well cared for, which is always important to me. KN also helped me with my solo horse trek and provided the rental horses. My guide knew the best routes and stayed with me for as long as I wanted. I never felt unsafe or worried.. even when I was on my own. I would highly recommend this.
