"Mongolia is not what magical place, it is only we have long forgotten the way of life," Sardar said, "I'm here, to find my freedom."
After the conversion of various transportation tools, expedition party from the urban civilization fell into the icy wildernessIn Mongolia's vast taiga (Ulam Ulaan Taiga) area, is to rely on the reindeer herders who follow the free movement of local students, is located in the boundary of the mountain Uma Tuoergai (Uma Tolgoi) of the dangerous path -- it will be our goal of riding expedition. This area, commonly known as "black heaven".
We have a huge team of 23 individuals, 38 horses. Team boss Hamid Sardar - Fu Sami (Hamid Sardar-Afkhami), 44 years old, a bold Iran African American scholars and documentary filmmaker, he is not in Paris or in Mongolia. The experience made him no human habitation in Mongolia this place is pretty tough, he often wears a broken hat, is simply a "prototype" of Jones in Raiders of the lost ark.
The Sardar plan two weeks of travel. We will be in the lake Hovsgol (Lake Hovsgol) camp, along the prairie across the valley all the way up to the mountain taiga forest, and then rode over to follow people tent to live, shaman and hunters, let them lead us to a bear, elk, moose and wolf ancestors as well as follow the soul world inhabited by black.
On the other side of the wilderness is scattered on the hillside cave in Mongolia, the expedition, they are always very warmOur trip to say from the geographical position, lakes and streams will be through Ulam, alpine areas, sponge cake like mud, densely forested mountains surrounded by. There are five main river watershed, is also "the black paradise" entrance, Sardar called it a "crackling light dark world". We will be in the Uma Tolgay Sean Ken camp, this mountain is follow the heart of mother earth. There, the shaman would go into a trance state, the spirit of seeking asylum for us, to protect our security. We plan to return Sardar's camp, with cigarettes, wine, hot bath and massage to celebrate.
Sardar do all travel plans at the end of 7, at the same time, avoid to Ulan Bator Naadam Festival (Naadam) flight peak. Soon, we have a pedestrian from civilization fell into the icy wilderness.
A heart full of exploration need
Mongolia's huge change, it is turning into Central Asia to Patagonia, you can spend $6000 to fly to ur River (Uur River) fishing for a week, or $4500 in Karakorum ancient Near luxury camp polo.
Stroke is the place to start - Sardar camp, placed in the Ulan Daya mountain entrance, Cook River (Khug River) and from the mountains down to reach Hudson Valley, depression (Darhad Depression), there is a vast grassland basin, once upon a time may be a great glacier lake. We flew to Mulun on the morning of the flight (Moron), Sardar drove a land cruiser connected to us, after 8 hours, the evening arrived in the border town of Ulam Ulla.
We first mountain climbing, then all the way across the Cook River, along the upstream towards green valley, surrounded by the dark forest heights to. Many of the small tributaries of river valley. Now is the end of 7, above the timberline wilderness are still fresh fluffy snow. Soon, the first camp just jumped out, more than a dozen white Mongolia bag like white cheese scattered on the hillside meadow. The top of the camp, spear flagpole waving a yellow flag with 6 sharp, eating wild horses.
Two small "grooms" came and took the reins, Sardar led us to the kitchen tent, his chef is preparing a pumpkin soup, sauce, chopped salad Italy beet and freshly caught trout. "If you eat well have a bath, I can bear anything." Sardar said. He is our bathroom is called "SPA", the SPA in the hills of Mongolia, was carpeted, with an elliptical glass fiber tub. A massage? Sardar introduced the "Barry archer to us" (Bariachi), which is a kind of Mongolia pine, massage services provided by a strong woman. After the end of the massage, in order to thoroughly clean, he suggested we drink pure milk. This can and dredging, improve circulation system, let the liver, skin and colon eliminate toxins.
At the camp, we looked at our expedition "boss" - Sardar carefully, his face shiny, wearing a cashmere sweater, jeans, boots, carrying a bottle of wine, wearing Ray-Ban flight spectacles, and that lazy, caramel color hat, looks like a out Liuwan squire riding nomads the horse is galloping, in his grandfather's industry. In order to pay tribute to the Mongolia warriors, Sardar put his tent named "Wind Horse", "Wind Horse" is a symbol of the culture of Mongolia.
Sardar's wife Nora (Nara) and their 9 month son Rohan (Rohan) spent a week from Ulan Bator to here. Sitting at the dinner of Mongolia bag, drinking tea, Sardar is holding the arhat to sit on his lap, singing Tuva lullaby, Arhats name from "the Lord of the rings" in the Luo Han Guo, land is a lush grassland, a good horse cavalry guards. It seems that Sardar has been found in Mongolia, where his imagination.
"We have now lost and wild environment," he said, "but our hearts have such needs, people desire to have some spiritual connection with nature and animal...... This is why we come to my adventure."
