7-Day Trek : 19 June – 2 July 2012

By the end of June, a 7-day-trek will set the starting point to the trekking season. A very spectacular and exciting trip. Travelling through valleys, rivers, streams, over mountain passes, green steps covered with a multitude of flowers, accompanied by singing Mongolian horsemen. Eagles flying high above in the blue sky with their sharp cries. All kind of animals : woodpeckers, Golden Serbian gees, insects of all shape and sizes, deer, mice, prairie dog, squirrel. Springs flow straight out of the mountain sides, fish swim up rivers from the lake. Blue skies, star sprinkled nights, fantastic rainbows as a back drop. Pure romanticism in one of the remotest countries of the world. Truly magical is the only way to describe it.
