Pack animals

Mongolian families frequently move from one pasture to the other by truck. Now, and in most remote areas however, they move with all their equipment and gers by carts. Fuel is very scarce and the Mongols is reverting back to more economical and reliable ways of moving their mobile camps. The carts are tied to whichever animals are available in the region.

In Arhangai we will use yaks and horses, and in the Gobi camels and horses. For treks to Hagiin Har Nuur, deep in the Khan Khentii taiga wilderness we use pack horses due to the rugged terrain, The services of some herdsmen will be hired for the expedition, and they will provide us with animals and their services. Some of these herdsmen have never dealt directly with foreigners before, so we have adopted our needs to their capabilities.
