Mongolia travel partners for 28/29 May - 9 June

Hi all,

I’m looking for a companion who likes canoeing the Tuul River. I´ve got the boot, all the needed equipment and the car for transportation. All you need is a sleeping bag, thermal mat, shoes to walk in the water, a little condition and willing to enjoy a very beautiful nature. Sharing costs for food. Start at the National park of Terelj (1 hour by car from UB) and we will end in UB. Start on Friday, 29.May 19:00 and back on Monday, 1.June afternoon.
I work here in UB and I´m always free on weekends and national holydays (like 1.June). Other activities like hiking and cycling.

Hi Frank,
good idea! Check your private messages please.

We are now planning to leave May 29 for a shorter (10-day) trip. I plan to travel in Mongolia until the end of September this year, so other trips will happen. I suggest we go to the SE on this short trip--volcanic steppes, herds of wild animals, unspoiled (rarely visited areas).

Later I plan to backpack or horse trek in Khentii maybe 3 weeks, and also the same or longer in Arkhangai. We don't need a van to get to those last 2 places. We can go by bus. A Gobi trip is too far for a short trip and a van or jeep would be needed.

Frank, I'd like to join you sometime. I sold my canoe before I left America 15 months ago and I miss paddling.

Britta, as I said, I will be here throughout your stay. I am also flexible except I don't want to repeat what I did last year. Since you will be here a long time I suggest you get a SIM card ($7 includes time). I use Mobicom because my phone works on their system. The other company has better coverage in the coutryside. I forget their name. You can ask for directions at the info desk of the main post office. Walk straight through all the way to the back.

Damn! I always forget to check private messages. They should hit me over the head. I am about to walk from Bayankhongor to Tsetserleg. A bit crazy, I know. I'll be OK. I know there will be snow on the pass. Hope to meet you both some day. Say, Frank--I guess I should catch Nadaam in Tsetserleg? Because tickets will be sold out and also beds in UB?

check you private messages now, Will!
:-)))) Good trip,
see you

I don't remember if I mentioned that the Great White Lake in Arkhanghai Aimag, NW of Tsetserleg, is a good place for a 2-week horse trip.(Which you mentioned as a priority.)

Keep in mind that there is more than one Tsetserleg. This is the Aimag capital, available by bus on paved road from UB. A luxury you will appreciate later, when you have to take a jeep with 9 people inside.

It is cheapest to do horsetrips in pairs, because usually there will be one guide and one packhorse for each 2 people.
