Jalsa Urubshurow
CEO & FOUNDER
A pioneer in environmental conservation through sustainable tourism initiatives, Jalsa Urubshurow’s story began in 1952 when his parents immigrated to the U.S. after a long search for safe haven from Stalinist persecution in Russia. Born on the other side of the world from his ancestral heritage, Jalsa grew up speaking Mongolian and listening to the legends his father recited to him. One year after establishing his framing business, Nomad Framing, Mongolia transitioned to democracy, and Jalsa’s dream of visiting his father’s homeland became a reality. During his first exploration of Mongolia’s astounding beauty, the nation’s first democratically elected Prime Minister, His Excellency Dash Byambasuren, recruited him to advise on expanding accessibility to Western travelers. Jalsa eagerly took up the challenge, and Nomadic Expeditions became a full-fledged operation in 1992. In the nearly three decades since its inception, Nomadic Expeditions has developed into the premier tour operator for the region and a significant force within the sustainable tourism sector.

PRESIDENT

By 2015, she had risen to the role of President, guiding the organizations towards innovative and sustainable tourism practices. She has played a crucial role in developing unique travel experiences and facilitating in-depth exploration for prominent organizations and individual travelers.
