Beyond Limits Expeditions

I recently returned from an incredible trip through Central Mongolia, and I can honestly say it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Thank you BE for the well thought itinerary and amazing planning! The landscapes were absolutely breathtaking — from endless blue skies to rolling grasslands and dramatic mountain ranges to serene rivers and ancient monasteries nestled in the hills. Each stop seemed more stunning than the last, and the variety of natural beauty kept everyday fresh and exciting. The itinerary struck the perfect balance between activity and relaxation. I had my first camel and horse ride - apprehensive at first but found the experience very enjoyable and duration made just right for first timers. We visited key historical sites, enjoyed peaceful moments in nature, and even had time to interact with local nomadic families — a highlight that truly enriched the trip. There was never a dull moment, yet we never felt rushed. A huge part of what made this journey so special was our amazing tour guide and driver. Our guide, Unuruu was knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to share fascinating insights into Mongolian culture and history. Our driver, Ganzuk was not only skilled on the rugged roads, but also kind and dependable — we always felt safe and in good hands. All in all, this trip to Central Mongolia was a truly unforgettable adventure. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique travel experience and is open to a bit of ruggedness. You can look forward to a trip that is filled with natural beauty, cultural depth, and new experiences.

Truly beyond expectations! I recently joined a survival skills lesson with Beyond Expeditions in Ubin, and the experience lived up to the name, it truly went beyond what I imagined. From the start, the team was warm, professional, and clearly passionate about teaching. The instructor made the session very personal , asking me questions and adjusting the pace to my level. I really appreciated that nothing was “held back.” They shared every detail and technique, and encouraged me to learn as much as I wanted. We covered fire starting, wood chopping, and knot tying, all taught in a hands-on, practical way that made me feel confident to use these skills on my own. The class was safe, well-structured, and filled with useful tips that only experienced guides would know. If you’re looking for a unique and empowering outdoor experience that combines practical survival skills with supportive, knowledgeable teaching — I highly recommend Beyond Expeditions . I’ll definitely be back for more!

Beyond Expeditions took care of our needs from start to finish. Shoutout to Scott for the very detailed pre-trip briefing! During our trip, our guide Bayasaa and driver Ganaa took great care of us and made us feel extremely at home, away from home. Bayasaa made delicious meals for us out in the wilderness and I hardly missed Singapore food, which is a rare occurrence! She was also our reliable bridge of communication with the locals and consistently ensured everything proceeded smoothly. Ganaa’s driving was top-notch and always got us safely from one place to the other. Even though he spoke little English, his friendly demeanour allowed us to still communicate comfortably with the help of sign language. Overall, we enjoyed this North Mongolia trip of a lifetime and we’ve got to thank the BE team for this! 😄🙏

I wanted to take a moment to share a bit about my recent adventure, the BEYOND LIMITS 9 Charity Expedition, which took place from the 2nd to the 12th of June 2025. This incredible journey led me through the stunning and remote Makay Massif in Madagascar, and I must say, it was one of the toughest yet most meaningful experiences of my life. Honestly, I’m still not sure how I survived the expedition, but I did it! :) It is hard to describe the natural beauty of the Makay region until you witness it yourself. It was truly a feast for the senses and a reminder of the incredible beauty our planet holds. Each day presented new challenges – from the scorching sun and tough terrain to sandy river crossings, steep climbs, and long hours on our feet. Despite the physical strain and exhaustion, none of us wanted to give up. The encouragement from each team member pushed us through together, lifting each other up at every step and forming bonds that I'll cherish forever. A significant part of the journey was visiting local communities and witnessing the tough conditions many kids in Madagascar face. It was incredibly humbling and added a lot of depth to the expedition. Experiencing firsthand what the kids endure in the brick factories, working from 5 am to 4 pm daily, was hard to imagine and deeply moving. These encounters reminded us why we were there – not just to test our limits, but to make a real difference in the lives of others. I also want to give a shout-out to BEYOND LIMITS all team leaders and the Madagascar local support team, including guide, chef, driver, porter, and nurse for their amazing organization and professionalism throughout the expedition. Special thanks to Scott, Kavita, Nicholas and Lanto for being great leaders during the journey and showing immense patience towards all the queries posted by the team. Big applause to Ryan (photographer) and Chou Rui (videographer) did an awesome job capturing every beautiful moment for us. And, of course, a big thanks to Valerie, our creative content writer, who constantly broadcast our stories during the expedition for more fund raising. Thank you for taking the time to read about my experience. I'm grateful for the chance to have been part of such an inspiring journey.

I went on the 2023 Golden Eagle Festival Trip to Mongolia with Beyond Expedition. Some break-down of the trip. It is broken down into two parts. The festival portion, and the road-trip portion. Each handled by different guides. First, the Good. The local tour guides that are actually on the ground are amazing. They were welcoming, forthcoming, and extremely hospitable. It really made this tour very special and pleasant. This includes the amazing drivers and road-trip guides. Sadly, that's where the good stops. The Bad. In summary, Beyond Expedition severely cheap out on numerous items during the trip. The lodging was nowhere near what we paid, which was an expensive $6990. And this was after investigating the prices of the lodging we stayed at. In addition, Scott (founder of Beyond Expedition) gave misleading information and conveniently 'radio-silenced' us when troubles cropped up during the trip. Firstly, our original hotel was suddenly changed 1 week before our trip. And this was only after pestering Scott for more information on our lodging. The excused given was that an international event booked out the original hotel. (But clearly this was not communicated to us, and it was only after everyone messaged Scott for our lodging information, did he provide). Another incident was when the replacement hotel had no hot water (the temperature at that time was around 10 degrees). Scott who was supposed to be the tour coordinator and "helpline" ignored all our messages. And we had to solve the issue ourselves. The lack of clear communication, both prior and during the trip, really made this trip unbearable. Would definitely not engage Beyond Expedition, or Scott for any further trips. Mongolia is truly a beautiful place, and would revisit it in future. But in no way would I want to use Beyond Expedition. Advice: If you need to go to Mongolia, there are many other tours that offer what BeyondExpedition does. Even if the prices are the same, I am confident the experience would be miles better than what I got out from this trip.

I have been on three trip with Beyond Expeditions Singapore since 2017, with two of them being in Mongolia and the last trip to Kazakhstan. Each trip were memorable in their own ways not just because of the beautiful landscapes and culture, but also because of the company I’ve had the pleasure of being around. Despite being a frequent solo-traveler myself, I had never been to Mongolia before and it is still, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stepped foot on and that’s honestly something that you can only experience once you are there! Throughout my trips, I’ve seen the bond and working relationship that Scott has forged with the local guides and drivers over the countless times he’s been to Mongolia. That is comforting and reassuring to see because it highlights not only his expertise of the region but also a passion not just for adventure, but also for people by bonding with them on a deeper level. Having had my fair share of experiences with uncertainties in remote destinations during my own trips, I’ve realized that my fondest memories were often the moments that I least expected. This made me realize that surprises are often a part of the adventure and it’s through such experiences that I truly get to learn more about myself. Perhaps, this is also why I really appreciate Scott’s unique approach of ensuring that the trips run as smoothly as possible while also keeping our minds open to new surprises that might happen along the way. One of the more unique trips I went on was a charity expedition to North Mongolia, during the freezing winter conditions, to raise funds for cancer patients in Singapore. This is an initiative that Beyond Expeditions Singapore have been running for a while and I’ve been fortunate to have had the opportunity to bond with strangers, some of whom are my friends even till today. Thank you Beyond Expeditions Singapore for the memorable experiences that you’ve provided and I will highly recommend them to anyone seeking for something unique and unconventional!

BEYOND LIMITS 8 Charity Expedition: Dagala Thousand Lake Trek 12th Dec -21st Dec 2024 Bhutan has been on my bucket list for a very long time, and this trip has been nothing short of amazing; not just because of the unparalleled views, but more importantly, it was the company and people I went on this incredible journey with. Big shout out to Scott, Sangay, the BE team and our wonderful Bhutanese crew for curating this and facilitating this incredible experience. The trek itself has been both challenging (in a very good way) and a personally enriching journey. I wasn’t the quickest chicken in the basket but I felt very supported by everyone. That was one of the most important and lasting aspects of the whole experience for me. Bhutan is a very beautiful country with her mountainous valleys and unique landscape. Trekking through the landscape felt like I was walking into a Nat Geo documentary in HD. The wind, the weather and the terrain can be unforgiving but it is worth every step of the way. It is incredibly rewarding when you push hard and you will be surprised at what you discover within yourself. The Bhutanese people are incredibly warm once you get past the initial stoicism and their love for their country is inspiring and incredibly infectious! It’s quite a sight to behold when your guide is waving the national flag at 4000m above sea level against the Himalayan Mountain range! This trip goes beyond any ordinary travel holiday. It is a unique and one of a kind life experience that cannot be replicated anywhere. I highly recommend everyone making a trip like this at least once in a lifetime. It is not easy but it will broaden your horizons and perspective so much more when you have been through the journey. Do check out Beyond Expeditions’ website if this sounds like your jam. It is truly one of a kind!

Given this is our second engagement with Beyond Expedition (BE), I’m sure it speaks volumes. Embarking on an adventure with BE in Ladakh, India was an experiential travel through breathtaking landscapes and vibrant cultures. We were immersed in the fascinating landscape from rugged mountains to serene monasteries which is made possible only with the expert guidance and genuine hospitality provided for. Kudos to Scott and his team for yet another unforgettable and humbling experience to my wife and myself. I highly recommended BE for those seeking authentic and enriching travel adventure!
