Travel Comments - 2005

August 2005

Thank you so much for the wonderful horse trek. 11 days just flew by. Everything was great.
The horses, the landscape, the organisation and above all the people. Being together, ride together, work together, eat together, sing and play together was wonderful. Even we don't know the others language it was no problem. A smile, a friendly glance, laughter - it's just international.
Erke as our "leader" was just amazing. Always friendly, always nice and always very well organised.
Thank you very, very much. A part of this country and of our group (German, Swiss, American, Mongolian) will always be in my heart.

The landscape :
very different types : blue Hovsgol lake with meadows and green forests, steep alpine valleys with wild rivers, flowers - rich colours, rolling green steppe hills, warm lakes to bath in - 1800 km alpine rocky parts, the taiga, we saw it all.

The horses :
Very reliable, easy to ride, went up steep mountains, down muddy paths, through rivers with high water without any problem. Could, if you wanted, be rally fast ! Soft saddles.

The guides :
Very friendly and helpful, always at your side if anything was up, liked to laugh and sing and play games. Very communicating. Liked to get in contact. Tourists and guides together were a really good crew.

Erke, the "leader" of the trek :
Very efficient and professional with a warm and friendly way to everybody. Very good leader of the guides. Never loosing either head or temper even in difficult situations. E felt in very good hands and very well cared for.

Thank you all for a wonderful and unforgettable trek !

Yours,
Antje, Sophie and Andreas Dinkelaker, Germany

Magnificent trip ! A very special experience in a wonderful country with very special people.

For Erke :
Just thought I say thanks for everything during the race week and horse trek.
You took very good care of us all. I can't say how much I enjoyed the horse trek, it was an exceptional week and I loved every second. It was really good to see you again as well as so many of the Darhat guides that I met last year, it was good too to make so many new friends. I was made to feel so much at home in Hovsgol that I now feel a stranger in England. You have truly the best of everything beautiful in the world the people, the culture, the horses, the spectacular landscape and the very best dairy produce !

I can only look forward now to visiting next summer hopefully for a little longer.

Thanks again for everything !

My very best wishes,

Great adventure, wonderful landscape, beautiful flowers, “säng & hurten mörr” (good and fast horses). Mongolia’s nature & people are very special. We will be back for a longer horse ride. We will come back next year to see the fantastic blue sky & colourful Hovsgol lake again.
Mireille and Chris are very friendly and very well organised.
Many thanks for this experience, riding lovely horses named “Odlanbar” (like Appaloosa with “red” spots) and “Alpino”.
Special thanks to the cook Bagy and the interpreter Bat (the Mongolian cowboy !).
