LLC «Travel 17.ru» was established in 2023. Our team has extensive experience in designing and operating tourist routes across central, western, and southern Tuva. Our staff includes seasoned tour guides and certified trail instructors. Despite being a relatively new company, «Travel 17.ru» carries a long standing legacy. Back in the early 1990s, Mergen Konchuk began organising trips across Tuva for visitors to the republic. He founded the tourism company «Tuva Travel», welcomed tourists from Europe and America, and travelled extensively himself.
Mergen participated in developing the Tuvan segment of the large scale programme «Sayan Ring» and created the flagship multi day itinerary titled «Across Tuva», which encapsulates nearly the entire landscape and cultural diversity of the region.
Unfortunately, Mergen’s untimely passing prevented him from realising all his plans. Yet his friends, colleagues, and family remain—those who shared journeys with him across nearly all of Tuva, whether on foot, horseback, by water, or bicycle.
Tuva — the heart of Asia, a remarkable place where every corner is filled with pristine beauty and shrouded in its own mystery, which we will help you uncover. The region’s nature is so diverse that within a single day you can travel from sandy deserts with camels to eternal glaciers inhabited by rare argali sheep and snow leopards. A journey through Tuva will be a true immersion into untouched nature, the simple lifestyle of nomads, and the secrets of ancient civilizations.
