From start to finish this was an amazing trip. My favorite was the stay at the nomadic family near Hustai National Park. I feel that I got a very good impression of Mongolia and seen many of its beauty. Amara is an amazing driver/tour guide. She is amazing and very friendly. The second family we stayed at they were extremely accommodating and really included us in their daily activities which gave us a very good idea of what life in the Mongolian steppes is like. I feel very fortunate that I got the opportunity to see this magnificent country and amazing people. I wish I bought more gifts for the families. It would be good to tell the tourists in advance that it is nice to bring gifts from your home country. We only bring sweets. I recommend this trip to my friends.
