Travel Comments - 2001

Dear Mireille & Chris,

The trek last June was one of the most memorable trips of my life. It was wonderful : the scenery we went through - along rivers, lakes, up and down mountains, on meadows, amidst Spring wildflowers, trees, and with the most beautiful views of virgin land and forests, with no sign of human habitation. Plus the camaraderie, great food, and so many adventures. These trips can often be disastrous, but with you, it was the finest. The expedition was well-organized without being rigid. Most important, you, yourselves, were wonderful - you managed the to create a fine rapport among all of us trekkers and Mongolian support staff, even in challenging and difficult situations!

Affectionately,
Bob

The holiday of a lifetime ! No phone, fax, mobile phone, TV or radio ! Just what I needed.

Mongolia ? The land with no fences lived up to its reputation. One week on horseback galloping through wide open spaces and endless fields of flowers, trotting along majestic mountains and mountain streams coming out of nowhere, cooling down in natural water pools or the crystalline Hovsgol-Lake with more fish than you can eat. All this under a deep blue Mongolian sky. What more do you want ?

Oh yes, I forgot: Wonderful hospitable Mongolian people to accompany you along the trek to show their lifestyle and play their music. A perfect organization by Chris and Mireille. Keep it up and please sign me up for next year !

Dear Mireille and Christian,

Thank you for a wonderful 2 weeks. Everything went so smoothly from the pick up from the airport, being shown around UB, transfer to Moron and onto the camp, the treking, the food, the tents... where do I stop ? The most difficult decision of the day was where to put up the tent : by the river or by the food ? I arrived a nervous beginner at riding and left having galloped with confidence. The multi national group made conversation around the camp fire in the evenings fun and interesting, although I never quite mastered any words in Mongolia. Please continue organising these treks so that others like me can come away having seen something truly wonderful and enthused to take riding lesons.

Best wishes
Lindsay

To experience Mongolia and it's nature by horse is one of the most fantastic things I have done and one really gets close to nature when you are out there, no mobile phone, page, cars, people, etc. You in some mystical way become one with nature and all living things in it. This trip was so spectacular and exciting that I can not put it in words. Traveling through valleys, rivers, streams, snow, 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, heard the wolf at night - saw the paw prints in the morning, springs floating straight out of the mountain sides, fish swing up rivers from the lake. Horse races with the Mongolian horsemen 0A (who always won even if we changed the horses), blue skies, star sprinkled nights and the last day riding in the rain (no problem with good rain cloth) with the fantastic rainbow as back drop. Truly magical is the only way to describe it.
