What Our Guests Say

Our guide Erlan and his family hosted us during the Golden Eagle Festival. We were welcomed at their home as if we were part of their family. It was a real chance to have him with us during the Festival : as he speaks a perfect English, he gave us all the explanations about the different celebrations / activities taking place. He introduced us to his Eagle hunters friends and we ended in a pub to celebrate the event with them. We learnt a lot of things as Erlan took the time to translate all our questions. We also stayed in a Eagle hunter’s family for a few days. Once again we had the chance to understand better the kazakh culture thanks to the many explanations and translations of our guide. The thing is that by relying on Sayat travel to organize your trek, you will live a much more authentic experience than if you went through an agency in UB or Ulgii. Erlan knows his region very well, he can tell you everything about his culture and traditions. The eagle hunters are not his business partners but his real friends. Plus, the price he asks is ultra competitive compared to any other agency. We would recommend him for sure and we hope we’ll come back one day with our families to share this experience with them !

Erlan organized an awesome 6-day trip to see and experience this beautiful part of the world. He’s a great host and speaks perfect English, which is a relief in this part of the world. We lived with hospitable locals, did great hikes, saw breathtaking views and even joined a small eagle festival. Definitely recommended!

Wonderful trip around Olgyi the days before the eagle festival. We stay with nomadic families and shared time, food and the Great time during the two days of the festival as well as during our trip back to UlaanBator by UAZ minivan. Six days in the flat of Mongolia. Great experience for my whole family. Perfect organization by Erlan of Sayat Travels. If you want to do something really different go to this region of Mongolia with Sayat travels.

This was my first time visiting Bayan Olgii, and this time, I travelled with my fellow landscape photographers who went crazy with the beauty of the landscape. We literally stopped and took pictures in ten or twenty minutes of drive, and the crew was accommodative and resourceful throughout the trip. We were able to attend an Eagle Hunter festival which was the highlight of the trip. Kudos to the crew who were instrumental in making our trip enjoyable and memorable!
