Rabbit
After reluctant to bid farewell to the volunteer camp, he returned to the youth hostel in Ulaanbaatar early in the morning and checked the internet information a little!There is not much information on the Internet, but I know there are two places to go, one is ⌈Telegui National Park⌋ , and the other is ⌈Kusugul Lake⌋ .Listening to Mongolian friends, Kuskulhu is a holiday paradise for Mongolians, no matter how you want to find out!
I didn’t set a special plan, went to the travel agency and youth hostel on the first floor of the department store to check the itinerary. But if there is no right place and someone to leave at the same time and the same travel place as you, a chartered car will cost about $ 100, which is too expensive …
After returning to the Youth Hostel, he chatted casually with the handsome Danish man next to him and asked where he was going.
He said: “I will depart to Kusugul Lake at 6 o’clock this afternoon to join my travel companions on the Internet. Interested welcome Joining together is the itinerary that I discussed with two other Polish travel companions; if you are interested after reading it, I will take you to our cooperative travel agency and find the boss to complete your follow-up processing.
“At that time, I heard that it was too good! !
It was such a coincidence that I found a travel companion who was going to Mongolian Paradise, and had a five-day trip on horseback!
I love this trip very much, but it ’s a pity that the number of days is stuck to the plane that is going to return to Taiwan.
When I was hesitating to go or not, the owner of the homestay said to me: “If you are sure to go, I will pick you up immediately Go to the Mongolian office to apply for a visa extension, and you will be able to set off immediately after processing properly!
You can count your $ 43 a day for a total of five people, all inclusive, see if you want it! ”
In this situation where minutes and seconds are competing, the only choices are whether to go, not to go, or not. When I heard these words I said loudly, “Okay! Let’s go! I will participate! Go and sign up now!”
At that time, I had only two hours to apply for the extension. Looking at the crowds and the slow efficiency of the office, my mood was boiling like ants on the hot pot. I wanted to give up on Ulaanba several times. Forget it, but it’s rare to be lucky that someone will go to this dream paradise together at this time.
Just as I kept praying, and three minutes before the homestay owner came to pick me up, the office staff issued my visa! ! Everything is thrillingly unreal.
The owner of the bed and breakfast immediately rushed to the largest bus station in Ulaanbaatar with a bird-like driving speed. Only when he arrived at the scene did he know that he had to sit for 17 hours ! !
In order to visit paradise, I have to seat in the bus around 17-hours.We just happened to be in the last row of five seats, but we were stuffed with six people, and everyone's luggage was almost crowded behind. Plus beside me was a tall Mongolian strong man.
With road pits the hole shook violently and there were three rest stops on the way, eating, sleeping, and dizzy to the destination. It can only be said that this back and back pain combined with sultry and difficulty breathing spent these 17 hours, although it is hard, but I also find it very interesting.
After arriving in the small town of Mulun, the tour guide took us to eat some Mongolian lamb buns, and also met traveling companions from all over the world. Under the laughter of everyone, we quickly forgot the 17 hours of exhaustion.
On the way, some travel companions suggested that I don’t know the temperature difference between Mongolia and Japan is so big. Can I buy a Mongolian coat to survive the cold night?
So, the tour guide took us to the black market to buy clothes. At that time, the clothes did not have enough clothes. By the way, I bought one piece. The price of one person for five people was about NT $ 1,000. Although the clothes are a bit heavier, they are wool. Texture; warm and comfortable to wear.
After purchasing some necessary supplies and snacks in Mulun, he also played basketball with the youth in the town, moved his muscles, and slept in the yurt. Prepare to continue the battle to pull the car tomorrow!
There is no internet world here, but there are blue sky and white clouds with Mongolian songs.The car walked on the vast grassland, the mood seemed to completely peel off the dark clouds in my heart, take a deep breath, absorb the infinite grassy fragrance of nature, and the whole mood felt very happy.
On the way, I saw someone set up a stall on the grassland. I got off and watched it curiously. There were a lot of handicrafts and accessories in the stall. I bought a necklace made of elk horns. It was simple and special.
At noon time, the tour guide found a parking place by the river embankment and started cooking everyone's Chinese food. He smiled and told us that if he was thirsty, he could drink the water of the stream. You can go for a drink.The tour guide went on to say that before Genghis Khan ordered not to bathe in the river water, fearing that it would contaminate the gift given by God, so he ordered to take home appliances if he needed water, if he polluted the river, he would be killed!
The first time I drank glacial water, the clear lake water tasted smooth and sweet, and it was enjoyable to drink; I never thought it would be so delicious and terrible.
After five hours, I finally arrived at a nomadic homestay on the grassland. In the simple wooden house under the bright sun, simple objects and bright totems are another flavor.The grandparents at the homestay warmly invited us to drink the freshly squeezed goat's milk and bread. Although the language was not good, their smiles warmed our hearts.
Watching the Mongolian children at the age of five, they started riding a taller horse than they were, and they ran handsomely on the grassland!Chasing with their brethren on a heavy machine, the sun's red face, innocent face and laughter made people smile.
To greet us at night, lie on the grassland without light pollution, the starry scene is in sight, so beautiful, the distance between the stars and us seems to be only a few kilometres away, and I unknowingly watched an hour of starlight So happy.
Early the next morning, prepare to ride the horse to start the next trip.I thought the horseback riding was the same as in Taiwan. The tour guide would lead the horses forward, but I did n’t expect it to be [ a man riding a horse ].
Without any riding experience, I was very nervous with my eyes wide open, but the tour guide smiled It ’s easy to say: “Relax! Riding is easy! I ’ll be riding when I ’m 5 years old! I believe you can get started soon. Come! Let ’s practice for 5 minutes.”Then he walked me into the saddle for two laps, and said, “Okay! It’s easy! No problem for the next few days!”With the order of the tour guide, I could only stick on my scalp.
Started a five-day trip between people and horses.When I was riding on the horse, I was very worried about whether he would rush or flick the tail. I did n’t expect him to go his own way silently. At most, he did n’t walk in the same place. The tour guide said not to irritate him or beat it up. Very safe.
At first I felt very new and admired my courage to ride alone. The horse was walking at a light pace, but after riding for a long time, I found that the muscles on the inside of my thigh were very sore. Later, I would ride in a slightly upright position to make the buttocks. And muscle discomfort is reduced.While looking at the landscape of the water and green mountains, I was talking to my Prince Charming, thank you very much for carrying me up and down the sea.
The sound of insects and songbirds with peace, looking at the green forest turf, nature is really a magical creator.When the sun went down, we found a flat grassland for the horses to rest. After setting up their tents, they rested for a while.
The tour guide started cooking and singing Mongolian songs. The sound resounded through the clouds, as if the entire natural spirits were singing together. Yu Yin wandered the whole earth.Pack the bags the next day and prepare to set off to visit the Chattan family, a minority group in Mongolia.
Tips for Mongolian Horse Riding:
When you want to speed up the horse, you can pull the reins up a bit, and you can add the accent and the power of Dan Tian to shout: "CHU !!!"If you shout too softly, the horse will not care about you! The most important thing is to pay attention to safety! !
