The Mongolian Naadam Nadam Nadaam Festival
Those of you who have the courage to read this horrible prose hereunder are probably wondering what kind of idiot wrote this. We have a better capacity of writing, of course. You will probably wonder where our motivation is to write so badly. Well, easy, search engines look for correlations between our keywords like horseback riding, Mongolia tour, fly fishing, Taimen and Lenok, trekking, paragliding, fish, China, Tibet, Gobi, Costa Rica and the frequency with which they appear on our travelling page. In this ever-changing cyber world, we need to keep up, I guess.
Use the above links about Mongolia to research Mongolian culutre and opportunities before you travel or before you undertake a trip or tour to the country of Chengiss Khan. You see, here I write culutre instead of culture because people sometimes do miss-type. I could also write Monglia. In French we would say Mongolie or in German Mongolei. (You see, here I go again). So people searching for Mongolia, but typing in Monglia, will most probably end up on my travel page.
Horseback riding was our original interest when we pioneered travel adventures to China, Inner Mongolia, Costa Rica and Tibet. We now offer tours and travel packages of all kinds to discover and travel through Mongolia including camel riding, Quad, trekking, ATV, kite buggy, paragliding, horseback riding, culture, fly fishing (fishing the great salmon fish, the Taimen) , visiting Naadam, the Gobi, Lake Hovsgol (Lake Khovsgol) and the nomadic herders. In Mongolia (Ulaanbaatar, also called Oulan bator or Ulan Batar) we have our own offices. You can also meet us at Chez Bernard Café. It is a great place to meet people and have something to drink or eat. Most travellers come here to recount what they all did and saw during their stay in Mongolia. It is a real encounter place in Ulaanbaatar. And the staffs are so friendly and nice.
We are not a travel agent, but an outfitter of travel and adventure tours in Mongolia and Costa Rica. If you want a riding vacation whether a horseback riding trip, a camel riding tour, a Taimen fly fishing adventure; or a jeep riding holiday (holliday for the bad writers), we'll be glad to create a travel adventure for you. Always keep in mind that travelling is Mongolia is a great adventure and big fun.
In China and Tibet remember you can combine two adventures and do both horseback riding trips in just two weeks of travel. A China horseback riding vacation or a Tibet horseback riding tour is just the thing for beginners or experienced equestrian travellers. An equestrian vacation horseback riding in, China, Tibet, Costa Rica or Mongolia is a great way to have a guided tour or trip in Central Asia.
I could go on like that much longer writing nonsense. But I have to put en and somewhere to this text like you have to put an end one day to your vacation in Mongolia. Whatever you do as activity in Mongolia, horse riding, camel riding or fly fishing one day your trip will end and you will have to fly back home, with Aeroflot, MIAT or Air China. Those who have more time will take the trans-Siberian train, from Ulaanbaatar to Moscow or to Beijing (we say Pkin in French).
So sorry for all this writing. But if it attracts more people to my travel page and brings in people travelling to Mongolia, Im happy. The more people come to discover this great country, the better for the Mongolian population.
See you around in Central Asia and Costa Rica
