Eco Nature Travel

Well, the weather was not that promising for us as it is rainy season..Somehow, the god helped us someway…hehehe..

After took some nice pictures up the hilltop, we took a rest while waiting for the camp owner to arrange the horse ride. I then walked along the lake alone for a short while..I heard some sound of birds coming from somewhere. I then found some birds and seagulls swimming along the lake & took some pictures. The lake water is crystal clear and fresh. Just take a look at these pictures down here. Then, a mongolian boy riding a horse came to me and informed me that my friends were waiting for me for horse riding. Of course, he doesn’t know how to speak English..He just tell me “horse! horse!”

Pictures that i took along the lake…look at the crystal clear water of Khovsgol lake…

  This boy is about 10years old and can ride the horse well and fast. I heard that most mongolian boys started to ride a horse as young as 3 or 4 years old especially those that are from the countryside.

Horseriding along Khovsgol (Huvsgul) lake is so fun! Can u imagine we rode for 3hours and we experienced different kind of weather. We experienced the sunshine, the rain, the ice drop, the snow, windy and cloudy weather along the lake within these 3hours ride.  Enjoying the beauty of the lake at different point along the lake. The scenary, the people u met and the natural surroundings is not the same along the lake. I guess that’s not only a path to discover the nature but the path of life…Anyhow, the journey of one’s life is full of discoveries, unpredictable with ups & downs. Due to all these differences, we then can differentiate what is life or what is happiness and what exactly we want in life. Anyway, it is our choice to think and lead the kind life you want. It’s a matter of thought and decision. Once u have a peaceful and clear mind, you will find your own path to discover the things that u need. Don’t you think so? This journey of mind is really awesome…I have never ride a horse for such long hours and along such a huge and beautiful lake..

Oh…while we were taking a break at a nearby shop, one of the guide grabbed me near to his horse and i think it scared the horse. The horse gave me a kick as i was standing somewhere behind the horse…Oh..gosh…I felt that i was caned by my  mom on my thigh & stomach. It was really a hard kick but i think the horse did not use its full strength yet..Thank god! i am alright..just some light bruises..Anyway, this is my second horse ride experience! It is still a joy ride.  These pictures were taken by my korean friends, Mr Choe..only the last two pictures were taken by me as the ride was too bumpy for me to take a picture while riding..

It was so cold when we reached the camp. We stayed in the ger. The camp owner was waiting for us and start up the firewood for us to warm up the ger. There were so many bright and sparkling stars outside the gers. We were exhausted. We then chat for a while and went to sleep after dinner as all of us didn’t sleep well along the bumpy ride journey.

We wake up in the morning but it was drizzling…the breakfast was simple with just an egg and some rice & korean hot pepper paste. Though it was drizzling, we can’t wait to see the Huvsgul Lake. We then approached to the lake…it was so huge and it’s as large as a sea..where u can’t see the end of it….This is the first time i saw such a huge lake.

Some of these pictures are taken by my korean friend - Mr Choe

Some locals was selling some local made goods but selling in dollars. Well. u can negotiate with them. Some are quite pricey but are handmade. Some are cheap.

Thanks god the rain stop in the afternoon. We then walk along the street and take a trip to one of the hill nearby the camp to see the view of Huvsgul/Khovsgol from high land area. The road condition up the hill is so narrow that it can only afford one car at a time and the road & not paved. I guess the skills of the driver must be really good. The scenery up the hill was fantastic as u can have a full view of the lake and its surroundings were amazing..!When we came down from the hill, we saw many yaks, white & black yak…This is the first time i saw a real yak. I see yak only in the TV or in a book.
