点评:WOW! I am still amazed at the beauty and culture richness of Mongolia.
I decided to go on a short solo trip and thanks to the amazing team at Selena i had one of the best trips of my life.
Joe was the tour agent that carefully prepared my itinerary considering all my asks: which was to see most of Mongolia in 4 days - a pretty difficult task considering the size of the country and in the winter time, but we did it!!
He was able to include a horse archery class which honestly was the highlight of my entire trip, I had so much fun!! This activity wasn't even part of their tours but Joe made it happen!! If you are adveturous and like horses this is something you really need to try when visiting Mongolia.
I have to say that the other highlights were my guide Chingu and my driver Baaska. They took such good care of me, always making sure I was well fed, warm, rested, and having a good time. They really went out of their ways to make sure I was enjoying my trip. Chingu explained to me all and more about the history and culture of Mongolia from the past and present. I learned so much from him! Super important to have a guide because this country has so much to share culturally.
Staying with a nomadic family was my other favorite thing. I have to say that at first I was a little skeptical, thinking why would I pay to stay in a ger with no running water or western style bathroom, but it's such a unique thing that you can't experience anywhere else that is so worth it!! My family was the nicest, asnwering all my questions, and showing me how they live their lives. It was one of the most unique experiences I have ever had and I have traveled to 78 countries! Their ger was so clean and warm, I was so comfortable and grateful.
Riding animals is one of the activities I usually avoid when traveling because humans tend to mistreat them to make money, but is so different in Mongolia. Their livestock is like part of the family, they live freely and are very well taken care of - zero animal abuse here, I guarantee. So you must ride horses and camels to experience the real Mongolian nomadic life.
In terms of food, be prepared to eat a lot of meat and fat, yes fat - probably to keep everyone warm during the winter lol which is not what I normally eat but Selena organized everything acording to my taste. There were barely any vegetables in my meals but every thing was good. There was only one place where the food wasn't really enjoyable.
I am so happy I visited Mongolia and I honestly can't wait to come back.
This was one of the best trips of my life!
Thank you Selena team!!! You Rock!!!
翻译:哇!蒙古的美丽和丰富的文化让我至今仍惊叹不已。
我决定独自进行一次短途旅行,感谢 Selena 出色的团队,我度过了一生中最美好的旅程之一。
Joe 是旅行社代理,他考虑到我的所有要求,精心准备了我的行程:在 4 天内游览蒙古大部分地区 - 考虑到这个国家的面积和冬天,这是一项相当艰巨的任务,但我们做到了!!
他安排了一堂马术课,老实说,这是我整个旅程的亮点,我玩得很开心!!这项活动甚至不是他们旅游的一部分,但 Joe 让它成行!!如果您喜欢冒险并且喜欢马,那么这是您在访问蒙古时真正需要尝试的事情。
我不得不说,另一个亮点是我的导游 Chingu 和我的司机 Baaska。他们非常照顾我,总是确保我吃饱、暖和、休息好并玩得开心。他们真的竭尽全力确保我享受我的旅行。 Chingu 向我详细讲解了蒙古过去和现在的历史和文化。我从他那里学到了很多东西!有导游非常重要,因为这个国家有很多文化可以分享。
住在游牧家庭是我最喜欢的另一件事。我不得不说,一开始我有点怀疑,想我为什么要花钱住在没有自来水或西式浴室的蒙古包里,但这是一种非常独特的东西,你在其他地方无法体验到,非常值得!!我的家人是最友善的,回答了我所有的问题,并向我展示了他们的生活方式。这是我经历过的最独特的体验之一,我去过 78 个国家!他们的蒙古包非常干净和温暖,我感到非常舒适和感激。
骑乘动物是我在旅行时通常会避免的活动之一,因为人类往往会虐待它们来赚钱,但在蒙古却截然不同。他们的牲畜就像家庭的一部分,它们自由生活,得到很好的照顾——我保证这里没有虐待动物的行为。所以你必须骑马和骑骆驼才能体验真正的蒙古游牧生活。
至于食物,准备好吃很多肉和脂肪,是的,脂肪——可能是为了在冬天让每个人都暖和,哈哈,这不是我通常吃的,但 Selena 根据我的口味安排了一切。我的饭菜里几乎没有蔬菜,但每样东西都很好。只有一个地方的食物不是很好吃。
我很高兴我访问了蒙古,老实说,我迫不及待地想再来一次。
这是我一生中最棒的旅行之一!
谢谢 Selena 团队!!!你们太棒了!!!
