PassengerTravel

ABOUT

We have been servicing tourism in the western regions of Mongolia since 2007. Over the past five years, we have focused on providing competitive service and organized travel while maintaining affordable prices that consistently beat other companies in the region. Our smaller size, along with family connections within local communities, allows you to create your own experience, putting you in the driver seat of your personal Altai Adventure.     

   Sabit is currently an English and Russian teacher in Bayan-Olgii, Mongolia, working at school #5 (the largest school in western Mongolia), but fluent in 5 languages (Kazakh, Turkish, Mongolian, English, and Russian). Teaching has allowed Sabit to develop his English skills and tourism capabilities as he has worked with the United States Peace Corps for the last four years. While personally hosting two different volunteers, Sabit has worked to perfect his English speaking abilities while also evolving his tour business. These opportunities have given him greater access to resources that are unavailable to other tourist companies in the region. Also, having hosted US Peace Corps volunteers, Sabit has had the opportunity to meet and travel with countless tourists over the last half decade. He has gained personal insight to the preferences of western cultured travelers and the level of service that is expected. Furthermore, having lived with Americans and foreigners traveling for an extended period of time, Sabit has learned and developed a company that provides superior service, while maintaining affordable prices. This is directly related to the relationships he has built with friends - not simply tourists - that is alien to other companies in the region (who significantly raise prices for non-residents). 

​

Sabit puts his family first, one which you can stay with to lower your housing costs while traveling. His wife of 5 years, Nurgul, is also an English teacher in the city with superior language abilities. Their 3 year old daughter, Gulmira, is also now learning English, and will win your heart over in your first encounter. These family values are incorporated into his company philosophy, often integrating the two (spending your travel time with them in Olgii - as well as with them in the countryside). This not only allows your experience to be more comfortable and enjoyable, but also authentic.



With his experiences, Sabit and Jolaush Travel is not simply a company that is designed to make a profit off of tourists, but rather, a family endeavor that seeks the promotion of cultural exchange and understanding.
