Who are we in Mongolia

Fishing Mongolia is a department of Happy Camel Tours & Expeditions who is specialised in fishing and hunting tours and trips. Happy Camel grew out of a long experience of travelling in Mongolia and meeting many Mongolians. When Bernard first arrived in 1996 as agricultural engineer, he learned how society lived and worked.

In 1999, with the support of Francis , he formed a bread baking company which is well known by tourist and the expat which is "Chez Bernard" Café – Tea Room. As many tourists asked for tours, advice and logistical support, the idea rapidly came to enlarge the range of activities. Happy Camel was formed in 2001 in order to fulfil the dreams of the curious adventurer.

Today we have a dedicated Happy Camel - team of translators, guides, drivers and other contacts throughout the country who will be happy to assist you while travelling in Mongolia. Also we have at our disposal all the needed equipment and infrastructure to offer our guest an adequate logistical support. To be in the heat of the action, our main office is located in Ulaanbaatar.

Happy Camel aims to offer its guests a great experience of expedition travel where "en rout" meetings and actions differentiate its tours from others. We are aware of the consequences tourism can have on a country, all our tours are organised with due respect for people, culture and nature.
