Architects of Exploration:
A Family of Award-Winning Visionaries

"Дэлхий өргөн, би нэг байрандаа үлдэхгүй"
“The world is wide,
and I will not stay in one place.”
At Nomadic Expeditions, this spirit pulses through everything we do. It’s more than a motto—it’s a way of life, carried forward by the rarest of guides: three masters of exploration whose lives and careers embody the freedom of the open road, the call of distant horizons, and the transformative power of true discovery.
Together, Jalsa Urubshurow, Undraa Buyannemekh, and Sanjay Saxena form an unparalleled alliance of expertise, heritage, and passion.
Each brings a lifetime of achievements:
Jalsa, a pioneer who answered the call of his ancestral homeland to found Nomadic Expeditions and forge a new path for sustainable, cultural travel. His visionary work has earned him recognition by Condé Nast Traveler as a “World’s Top Travel Specialist” for Mongolia and inclusion on Wendy Perrin’s WOW List, solidifying his reputation as one of the foremost leaders in experiential, conservation-driven travel. Sanjay, a world-renowned guide across the Himalaya and beyond, named Condé Nast Traveler’s “Top Travel Specialist” for over two decades and a fixture on Wendy Perrin’s WOW List; And now, with immense pride, we celebrate Undraa’s debut on the Travel + Leisure A-List, honoring her deep Mongolian roots and visionary leadership in redefining the future of purposeful exploration.
Three world-recognized experts. Three life journeys shaped by history, heritage, and discovery. Together, they stand at the crossroads of past and future—ready to guide you across the wide world.
Under one roof, their collective mastery crafts journeys that are not merely trips, but profound experiences—designed with heritage, heart, and an unrelenting spirit of freedom.
In a time when travel too often rushes past the soul of a place, Nomadic Expeditions offers something enduring: journeys that honor the ancient call to explore, to connect, and to belong.
Because the world is wide. And staying in one place has never been our way.
Nomadic Expeditions has been recognized among the world’s best travel advisors on Travel + Leisure’s prestigious A-List 2025. This exclusive honor is awarded to a select group of experts, chosen by T+L editors for their unparalleled knowledge and exceptional travel experiences.


The WOW List is a collection of exceptionally knowledgeable and well-connected trip planners around the world. They have been rigorously road-tested based on Wendy Perrin’s decades of experience as a travel journalist and the latest trip reviews from travelers who used her WOW approach to ensure an extraordinary trip.
