Across the Steppes with Khan Sulo
Altai Nomads Travel的点评
点评：I went into this trip with minimal horseback-riding experience, but the pre-trip reading and information were excellent and allowed me to arrive adequately prepared for everything we encountered along the way.
Our guide and the wranglers took great care of me and helped me build my confidence throughout the trip. And then there was my horse. Before I met him, he was simply referred to as “the black one.” Once we met, he became Khan Sulo. Sulo was my father’s name. As for the rest, if “Khan Sulo” doesn’t make sense to you, consult a Star Wars fan or a Trekkie. Between the two of them, they should be able to explain it.
At first, I think Khan Sulo mostly tolerated my inexperience, but over the course of the trip we developed a real relationship. I learned to trust him, and I think he learned to trust me too. Together we climbed steep mountain passes, rode across glaciers, and covered terrain unlike anything I had experienced before. By the end, I was even galloping short distances across the steppes—something I never would have imagined myself doing when we started. By then, Khan Sulo felt as much like a friend as anyone else on the trip. Saying goodbye to him was harder than I expected.
Our cook was absolutely charming and friendly, and I still remember her smile when she would call me to tea. She quickly learned that tea was my favorite meal of the day, and I can still hear her calling, “Chai! Cookie Cookie!” Those small moments are some of my favorite memories of the trip.
I’m a vegetarian, and the food throughout the trip was excellent. Knowing how physically active we would be, I proactively packed two protein bars for every day. I was glad I did and would recommend other vegetarians consider doing the same. The meals were wonderful, but with long, active days in the saddle, having an easy additional source of protein was helpful.
Our guide also had a lot more to manage than simply leading us across the countryside. He dealt with changing airline schedules, closures caused by hoof-and-mouth disease, very different riding abilities within our group, and even some squabbles among group members. Despite all of that, he expertly rearranged things along the way so that we could all have the best experience possible. The wranglers were equally important, taking wonderful care of the horses and helping those of us who needed some extra support.
I’m no stranger to crazy adventures, but something unexpected happened when I got home: this trip earned me some serious badass respect. Friends who are accustomed to hearing about my adventures were genuinely impressed that I had ridden across the steppes, climbed steep mountain passes, and crossed glaciers on horseback. Considering I arrived with minimal riding experience and finished the trip galloping Khan Sulo across the open country, I have to admit this adventure deserved the respect it got.
This trip challenged me, gave me experiences I never expected to have, and left me with people and memories I still think about. I’m incredibly grateful to our guide, the wranglers, our wonderful cook, and everyone behind the scenes who made it happen - and also to Lisa who talked me into going.
And, of course, to Khan Sulo—the black one who became my friend.

翻译：出发前，我的骑马经验极少，但事先阅读的相关资料和信息非常详尽，这让我为沿途可能遇到的一切做好了充分准备。
我们的向导和马夫们悉心照料我，在整个旅程中不断帮助我树立信心。还有我的那匹马。在遇见它之前，它只被称作“那匹黑色的马”。见面之后，它便有了名字——汗·苏洛。苏洛是我父亲的名字。至于其他的事情……如果“Khan Sulo”这个词对你来说毫无意义，那就去问问《星球大战》的粉丝或者《星际迷航》的爱好者吧。他们两个人应该能给你解释清楚。
起初，我觉得Khan Sulo只是勉强容忍我的经验不足，但随着旅途的推进，我们之间逐渐建立了真挚的情谊。我学会了信任他，我想他也学会了信任我。我们一起攀登陡峭的山路、穿越冰川，还涉足了许多我以前从未体验过的险峻地形。最后……我甚至曾在草原上短距离疾驰——刚开始时我根本不敢想象自己会做这种事。那时，可汗·苏洛给我的感觉就像旅途中其他朋友一样亲切。向他道别比我预想的要难舍得多。
我们的厨娘极其迷人又友善，我至今仍记得她叫我去喝茶时脸上的笑容。她很快就发现茶是我一天中最爱的“餐点”，我至今仍能听到她喊道：“茶来啦！饼干饼干！”那些小小的瞬间是我这次旅行中最喜欢的回忆。
我是素食者，整个旅程中的食物都非常美味。考虑到我们会有大量体力活动，我提前为每天准备了两根蛋白棒。我很庆幸自己这么做了，也建议其他素食者也这么做。虽然餐食很不错，但在一天中长时间骑行后，能再补充一些蛋白质确实很有帮助。我们的向导要处理的事务远不止带领我们穿越乡野这么简单。他要应对不断变动的航班时刻表、口蹄疫引发的封锁措施、团队中成员们参差不齐的骑术水平，甚至还要调解队员之间的争执。尽管事情繁杂，他仍巧妙地重新安排了行程，确保我们所有人都能获得最佳的体验。那些驯马师们也同样功不可没。他们悉心照料着马匹，还帮助那些需要额外帮助的人。
我虽然经常经历各种惊险冒险，但回家后却发生了意想不到的事情：这次旅行让我赢得了众人发自内心的钦佩。那些平时常听我讲述冒险经历的朋友们，对我能骑马穿越草原、翻越险峻的山岭，甚至跨越冰川这一壮举都赞叹不已。考虑到我出发时几乎没有任何骑术经验，最后却能策骑汗苏洛在广袤的草原上驰骋，我必须承认这次冒险确实配得上它所获得的赞誉。
这次旅行考验了我，给了我许多意想不到的体验，还让我结识了一些人并留下了至今仍萦绕心头的美好回忆。我非常感激我们的向导、那些马术教练、出色的厨师，以及所有幕后付出努力的人们——还要感谢劝说我参与的丽莎。
当然了。给Khan Sulo——那个成了我朋友的黑人。
