点评:First of all, the trip (orkhon waterfall) is a great experience and Mongolia is a beautiful country and a true off road paradise. The team is considerate, and provide service with regards to airport pickup and drop off, and throughout the trip. The bikes are in great shape, perfectly maintained. There is an initiation and goodbye dinner included, both times in a great restaurant. The food during the trip is of good quality and very tasty. All staff are very friendly and accomodating.
Big plus is the fact that they can accomodate dietary preferences.
However, it’s 100% a motorcycle riding experience, more than a journey/travel experience. More effort could be made to also explore the Mongolian culture (in our case the only contact with the culture was an unguided quick stop at a temple and a quick stop with a Mongolian family, in both cases without much explanation). Apart from the meals in the evening, no activities are organised, which feels like a missed opportunity to let guests learn about Mongolian culture.
Also good to know:
- helicopter intervention can only be arranged 24-48h after a trauma. Luckily, we didn’t suffer any injuries, but a broken bone is not unlikely. I that case, of course, no trauma helicopter intervention is needed, but be aware that in case of a very serious injury, you may not be able to get the medical intervention needed in this remote area.
- gear rental can be costly, since every item that is damaged needs to be purchased (I.e., not part of the insurance). In that case, they only offer 20% off the retail price, although the items you’re wearing are far from new. I’d consider bringing my own gear next time.
Overall a great experience.
翻译:首先,这次旅行(鄂尔浑瀑布)是一次很棒的体验,蒙古是一个美丽的国家,也是名副其实的越野天堂。团队非常周到,提供机场接送和全程服务。摩托车状况良好,保养得当。行程包含入会和告别晚宴,两次都在一家很棒的餐厅举行。旅途中的食物品质上乘,味道鲜美。所有工作人员都非常友好热情。
最大的优点是他们可以满足客人的饮食偏好。
然而,这完全是一次摩托车骑行体验,而不仅仅是一次旅行/旅行体验。在探索蒙古文化方面可以投入更多精力(我们这次行程中唯一一次与蒙古文化的接触是在寺庙和蒙古家庭的短暂停留,两次都没有太多的讲解)。除了晚餐外,没有组织任何活动,这感觉像是错过了一个让客人了解蒙古文化的机会。
另需注意:
- 直升机救援只能在创伤发生后24-48小时内安排。幸运的是,我们没有受伤,但骨折的可能性不大。当然,如果是那种情况,不需要直升机进行创伤救援,但请注意,如果伤势非常严重,您可能无法在这个偏远地区获得所需的医疗干预。
- 装备租赁费用可能很高,因为每件损坏的物品都需要额外购买(也就是说,这不属于保险范围)。在这种情况下,他们只会提供零售价的8折优惠,尽管你穿的装备远非全新。下次我会考虑自带装备。
总的来说,这是一次很棒的体验。
