Hey Nathalie & Tsoj (and Nara)

Thank you very much for our fantastic trip in Mongolia :). Everything was really well organized and we really enjoyed the horse riding through the Mongol steppes.

It was great to travel with you and to know all the history and Mongol customs

It was a trip in harmony with people and with nature and yes you are right we never forget our night at Jara’s house ! 

Thank you for everything we really enjoyed Mongolia and your company.
