Jumping in Sain-shanda

26 September, 2010 from , Mongolia Leave a Comment

And back in the Trans-Mongolian, this time, direction China !

The picture below was taken at one of the few Mongolian stops, in Sain-Shanda (aka Saynshand sometimes), in front of our locomotive.

In Sain-shanda, we stopped enough time to buy some water, as well as some dehydrated Korean spicy noodles (just add some boiling water, and that’s ready). Quite good… when you’re hungry !

Korea and Mongolia seem to get along quite well. We saw an impressive amount Korean shops in Ulan Bator. Maybe it is because both countries are surrounded by huge and powerful countries that they feel it is easier to deal with countries of their size ? Just a thought though, i’m not an expert in koreo-mongol politics 🙂

Jumping around Kharkhorin

24 September, 2010 from Kharkhorin, Mongolia Leave a Comment

Kharkhorin was the former capital of Mongolia back in the 13th century. The Mongols being nomadic people, there is nothing really left from this capital now. The Kharkhorin Buddhist temple used to be 600 buidings. Now only a few are left.

Around the capital is a desert area, perfect for hose riding, camel riding and dune jumping !

On the second night, in mini Gobi desert (1 hour from Kharkhorin), we experienced a sand storm that became a rain storm, then a storm and then a snow storm… and still we were sleeping in Gers… it was a cold cold night !

The following day the sky was crystal clear… but 10°C less than the previous day ! All of that to try and explain the picture below :o)

Jumping in Terelj National Park

22 September, 2010 from , Mongolia 1 Comment

After a day in Ulan Bator, relaxing, walking around the (tiny) capital and most, importantly, eating like crazy, we were ready to start a 4 days tour around Mongolia.

First stop is Terelj National Park, 2 hours from Ulan Bator. It is a very quiet place with stunning landscapes.

We were staying in this Ger.

Gers are great as long as you take care of the fire. But after everybody goes to sleep, the fire just stops… and in 30 mins, it can be damn freezing cold in those things ! You better be prepared and have a good sleeping bag.

That can sometimes lead to you to doing stupid things to keep you warm.

Deer jumping !

We spent the day eating, drinking tea and walking around. At sunset we went on a horse ride. It was absolutely great being the only ones (or almost) in this remote area.
