The Tseren Tours Team
The strength of Tseren Tours relies on its people, they are the essential component that will make your journey unforgettable.
In 1992 Rik pedaled from Holland to Mongolia on his two year world bike tour. He met his future wife Tseren while in Ulaanbaatar and they started exploring Mongolia together.
A year later Rik and Tseren got a request from a Dutch company to organize a cycling trip in Mongolia.
Today we have gained priceless experience and knowledge in traveling around Mongolia. We are the leading Ulaanbaatar based company in the field of active and adventure tours. We are young, energetic as well as professional and responsible. We explore and set up all of our tours ourselves and being true observers of different cultures we promise that your visit to Mongolia will be more than just an effort in Mongolian sight-seeing but a true adventure that will bring you closer to the heartland of Mongolia.
Our goal is to provide the best active and adventure holidays possible while benefiting from our host communities responsibly. We will take you to the most fascinating and exciting places we have ourselves discovered. We have a wild choice of well crafted adventure holidays in Mongolia and we can design tours to suit the individual requests of our clients.
Tseren
Tseren was born in Bayankhongor, a remote region of Mongolia. She eventually married Rik, the wondering Dutchman during his travels through the land of the Blue Sky. She is now a mother of 4, sometimes wonderful children.
The true passion of Tseren is as an artist, keen for new ideas and the exploration of remote destinations. She is constantly inspired by her own dreams, seeking to experiencing the next true adventures of her life.
Rik
Rik is always happy to share his travel ideas with fellow travellers, idealists and explorers . He started his travels by carrying out his lifelong dream, a cycling trip from Holland to Mongolia.
His childhood was inspired by his explorations of maps and dreams of the next frontier. As Rik finally grew up (but there is some debate about that) he was finally able to put his dreams to fruition and explore the world beyond the maps.
He is hoping that one day he will make another world tour with his
young boys.

Sashka
Saskha is our French linguist, she is exploring the new french speaking markets and assisting Tseren Tours in becoming a truly international entity.
She has lived for many years in Geneva where she pursued a passion for the beauty and creation of music and teaching. She then felt the deep desire to return to her homeland to apply her talents and her dynamism to Ulaanbaatar. She has also created a vibrant network of friends and clients in Europe which come and visit us regularly.

Nyamka
Nyamka was the youngest guide ever to join Tseren Tours, he has explored every part of the country from the age of only three. This thirst for exploration has brought him ever closer to the wilderness of Mongolia, he then sought to expand his knowledge and completed internationally acclaimed wilderness guide course at the Tampere College of Finland.
In addition to this course he has carried out an extensive first aid training qualification. This has now allowed him to explore the few remaining parts of Mongolia that have barely been explored.
