Website fix and Tsaatan horse riding tour and Mt Turgen trek
September 20th, 2009Because of domain name change and other web related maintenance, this blog became impossible to log in for months. Finally it is fixed now that I have a bit of time.
I came back from a tour with an Italian group. The tour involved horse trek in East Taiga, Tsagaannuur soum, Huvsgul province and hiking trek around Mt Turgen and more. Here are some pictures:

Customer’s diary. Day 11.
March 13th, 2009Day 11. – 24 Aug 08
Spends the night as if we had been lying on a hammock, this is the curvature of the mattress. At 6.30 we think that might be enough jumped out to see Tsetserleg on Sunday morning.

Landscape dell’Arkhangay is less beautiful than the Huvsgul. The plateaus are more flat and the landscape becomes more monotonous, and the grass becomes more yellowish color. Significant as it is more arid. Woods left the space to endless grasslands and streams are disappearing. The cloudy sky is clear even if there are doubts about the rain.
We stop to see the gorge formed by the river Chuluut, a canyon carved by time. Nearby is the Zuun Mod Room, the tree of a hundred branches, covered with scarves of prayer and offerings of various kinds, that our thoughts can not fail to pull over to a big pile of dirt. By mid morning we make a stop in a nomadic ger like that would stop for a coffee at the bar. Seems to be intrusive but the costume and also so that we carers leave gifts when a cash prize. Indeed this is the only way to realize the life that the natives Read the rest of this entry »
