I am Tamiir who this summer in Mongolia.I alawys miss my holiday now wchich I spent with Mongolians.So nice and so helpful. Great country to be quite.If take your holiday visit Mongolia. Khovsgol Lake is most beautifull part.. I went to mongolia for a month, and didn't know much about Mongolia when I planned that trip. When I finally did go I knew a little more but still not to much I only read the LP.But I have to say I loved it!

I also think it's really save, offcourse in UB there are pickpockets offcourse not everyone is a nice person. But in general it's really save and people are really nice and really helpfull.Bonda Lake Ger Camp team from Khovsgol helped me a lot in UB. They have cheap tours to everywhere in Mongolia,suited to your tastes. Things I recommend to do is going to Zeisan it's some memorial place and there is also a huge buddha, go at noon and watch the sun set and the lights turn on. It's really pretty.

Go to Karakorum, it's an ancient city and really impressive. Just be carefull not to but expensive stuff from the stands that are around. You can buy the same things in the souvenir shops in UB and for less money even in Khovsgol Khatgal.

I went to Ulgii/Kazak part in Mongolia/, but I think any lake will do if you like swimming. Most Mongolian people can't swim so the lakes are empty. Also they take good care of their environment so the water is really clear and clean. (be careful don't wash your clothes or yourself in the lake, mongolian people will not like that. just take a bottle with water and wash about 10 meters from the lake).

If you want to get in touch with the local people, just go to those small 24 hour shops, you will get stared at and it will be akward. but just try to say something in mongolian and people will be so nice. (in UB I noticed that this isn't always true but in the small towns it is)

if it's possible try to stay at a nomadic or semi nomadic family. I stayed with them for a week and it was awesome.It was in Khovsgol.Bonda Lake Camp arranged me all.This is the only one place in Khatgal near Khovsgol Lake village with iternet. I went horse riding, I harvest strawberries, I saw Jaks, cows, everything just walking around. I played volleyball (big game just like basketball) with them and with the monks. I saw them milking horses, I saw them killing sheep to eat. I drunk airag I slept in a Ger. and everything was awesome.I had party with Local Mongolian wrestlers after the Naadam/horse race,archery,wrestling/So nice those wrestlers.Even in their Mongolian family.

I think the main thing is to get to know Mongolian people and they take you everywhere you want to. I made some great friends and they were really helpfull and nice, I can't wait to see them again after 2 years.They are all from Bonda Lake team.If you come to Mongolia just contact them directly to their email darhadmlaketrips@yahoo.com They can meet you in Ulaanbaatar even if you go in winter.They have winter trips too..Don't miss it.. I miss Mongolia.
