The Golden Tusk Competitors

We’ve always believed that travel isn’t just about where you go — it’s about how it changes you. From the very beginning, we set out to do things differently. No cookie-cutter tours. No giant buses or cruise ships. Just real people, venturing out into the world with open minds, open hearts, and a sense of purpose. For over 35 years, we’ve been creating life-changing experiences that connect travellers with the communities they visit — not just passing through, but showing up with care, curiosity, and intention. We call it community tourism, and it’s been in our DNA since day one. But we’re not just a travel company. We’re a people company. Powered by the passion of our team, the heartbeat of our local partners, and the energy of every traveller who’s ever said “yes” to something new. To travel your heart out is to go all in. To move through the world with compassion, courage, and joy. It’s about embracing the bizarre, celebrating the beautiful, and connecting with something bigger than yourself. It means leading with love — for the planet, for people, and for the possibilities that come with saying let’s go. We don’t do this to fill passports. We do it to fill lives. To build connection. To create joy. To leave the world better than we found it — one step, one trip, one ripple at a time. This is travel that goes way beyond travelling. This is G Adventures. And we’re just getting started.

Our journey began in 1992 when our founder, Jalsa Urubshurow, had the foresight to share the wonders of Mongolia with the rest of the world. Mongolia had just awakened from a long slumber under the veil of Communism and this wildly beautiful land, rich in ancient culture, was largely unknown to the western world. Fast forward two and a half decades later, and Mongolia tops must-see lists of sophisticated travelers across the globe. While our journey began in Mongolia, we have added over the years luxury adventure journeys to India, Bhutan, Tibet and Nepal. Our trips offer singular experiences; authentic adventures blending education, entertainment, and meaningful interaction with locals. Long before it was a buzzword, sustainability has been at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to supporting the culture, fragile environment, and heritage of the countries we visit. We believe that true travel is more than a transaction; it’s transformative. Join us and travel to unspoiled, diverse, and wondrous places that will fill your heart and enrich your soul.
