Steppenfuchs ReisenТалын Үнэг
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia · 1999 · 30 tours
German-language operator registered in Ulaanbaatar as Steppenfuchs Co.Ltd (Талын Үнэг) and run by its German founder Vait Scholz, who writes on the about page that he has organised individual trips in Mongolia since 1999; the site footer counts from 2008. The about page says the company can call on more than 30 German- or English-speaking guides and employs year-round office, guide and mechanic staff. About 75 Mongolia products are listed (jeep round trips, riding, hiking, motorbike and mountain-bike tours, self-drive, festival, winter, budget and short trips) alongside Russia/Siberia, Tibet and North Korea trips; the 30 most distinct Mongolia products are recorded here. Several menu links (the 18-day classic at its old address, three self-drive routes, a budget tour and the 21-day horse/camel/jeep tour) returned 'page not found' when checked. The company also runs steppenfuchs.com with the same content.
