Title – Million Star Hotel
Date – August 2002
Location - Khovsgol – Mongolia
In many places throughout the world you have an option of accommodation standards, be it a shared dorm room, a guest house or a hotel from two to five stars. Here in the Khovsgol region of Mongolia the star rating is somewhat different; when the sun goes down the only light comes from the camp fire, when the fire dies down the millions of stars appear and light up the night sky in a spectacle, that makes the cold of the night almost disappear.
Preparing for the climatic conditions of your destination must be a vital aspect of your travel planning. Being unprepared in a country like Mongolia is not an option. Attending a Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop will help to guide you through all the hurdles, which you need to overcome before you leave.
Beyond The Blue maintains a particular interest in Mongolia. The Christina Nobel Children’s Foundation through their operations in Mongolia, work with street kids and children from poor families, to offer support and assistance in escaping the cycle of poverty. The invaluable work the Foundation carries out, helps provide opportunities to the children of this amazing country.
Some of the Street Kids of Ulaan Baatar are forced to live in the city’s sewer system, sleeping on top of the hot water pipes to stay warm and to stay alive. Temperature in the city regularly drops below -35C in the winter months and this is the only way they can survive. For more information we urge you to visit The Christina Nobel Children’s Foundation web site at www.CNCF.org
