Title – Mongolian Steppe
Date – August 2002
Location - Khovsgol – Mongolia
The rewards of even the most taxing journeys always seem to be worth it. The harder the trip the more rewarding it seems to be, but you have to know your limits and work within them. There is little point in the most amazing sight of your life, if it ends up being the last sight of your life.
Mongolia is known as the land of no fences. A combination of years of communist rule where everything was owned by the state and over 40% of the population still being nomadic, resulted in a country where open spaces, are really very open. You can literally travel for hundreds of miles without coming across one.
Preparation is fundamental to completing a safe, enjoyable and memorable travel experience. Beyond Our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop will help you with your preparation and set you up for experiences you may encounter along the way. We will help you to identify your limits and make the most of the destinations, which will suit you.
We maintain 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
