Nikita MikhalkovUrga 1991The Mongolian shepherd Gombo lives in a yurt in Inner Mongolia with his wife, three children, and mother. They are content with their uncomplicated rural lives but Gombo wants his city born wife to bear a fourth child. A Russian truck driver named Sergi is stranded nearby, and finds his way to their house, where he and Gombo become friends despite their language and cultural differences. Gombo and Sergi go into the nearest city together, where Gombo buys a television set and attempts to buy contraceptives, but decides not to when he realizes everyone at the drugstore is a woman.Gombo returns hoem and he and his wife go into the fields, bringing the Urga which is then stuck into the ground far away in the fields, a signal that a couple is being intimate.A voice over from Gombo's fourth son concludes the film with the image of a chimney belching smoke into the...

Byambasuren DavaaThe Cave of the Yellow Dog 2005In the film, the young girl NANSA finds a small puppy in a cave. She names it ZOCHOR (Mongolian = colorful). But the father demands that NANSA get rid of the dog, becourse of the dog’s uncertain origin – possibly from a wolf – could pose a threat to the family. NANSA must follow her father’s orders and set little ZOCHOR out, but get lost. She comes upon an old, gray-haired woman, who is singing with all her might across the valley. An important meeting takes place here; the old and the new find a common bond in the fable of the yellow dog, which stands for the pinnacle of little NANSA’s journey in life. NANSA’s little dog becomes the YELLOW DOG. The concrete story line melts with the higher-ranking metaphoric dimension. NANSA gets to know her cultural and spiritual roots. The fable shows the viewer a new appreciation of life. The old...

That's not Paris, open your bag & throw some of tm

by Tulka

So as I mentioned before the real Mongolia is Out of UB, so be ready for your adventure without map, Bumpy road with full or stones, and for the weather, it?fs really changeable like *Spring Sky* as Mongolians say.Because in Spring weather changes in just second, the sun shines then the cloud cover it, thunder rolls, rain falls. Then it clears up again. The nature is formed by the *extremes* of hot & cold , Cool & warmSo make sure that you have following stuffs when you go camping in countryside, Don?ft expect that you will find shopping More in middle of somewhere!!!!! -Extra shoe or slippers to use when you cross the river-rain coat and pants warm tops, gloves Don’t forget them even in a middle of hot summer, at night it’s always very cool )-WindProof jacket-Gloves will help you a lot when you ride a horse- - Pain pales for headache or some more things!! you know how you're!...

Don't Forget the Wet Wipes!

by hayward68

A backpack or duffel bag is probably the preferred type of bag as it can be crammed into a small space and hoisted across the desert quite easily. A daypack is a good idea for any hiking that you might do, a good place to store the water that you'll always want with you. The season you travel will affect your clothes and shoes. We took fleece and wool layers as it was early spring when we travelled. You'll want a warm hat and gloves and also a pair of hiking shoes is a good idea. You can buy coats quite cheaply in Ulaanbaatar so you might want to just buy one there. A ball cap or hat with a brim is a good idea for keeping the sun off your face and don't forget sunglasses! Bring along baby wipes or wet wipes as you might not find a place to wash up. This was how we kept clean while staying with the nomadic families. They're also refreshing if you've been caught in a sandstorm. I brought...

Get ready!

by andronikkie

- In the Gobi you will need good well worn trekking or hiking boots, as you'll often find yourself walking in sand or water streams etc. Even in Ulaan Baatar roads and pavements often have huge puddles filled with water or cracks and you can't navigate well with normal shoes. Even though locals don't seem to mind.- Also get the warmest jumper or pullover for night time, when temperatures drop drastically (even in August). What we found very useful, was a bottle of hand disinfectant that you don't need to rinse. If possible, get a small tripod with you. It is essential if you want to take pictures of the night sky in the Gobi. Also, bring with you a polarising filter, as there is very strong sunshine somedays. Some other summer days however it rains a lot, and it is good to have a waterproof hood for your camera. Also you may find yourself in conditions where you may not be able to...

The following things can be handy on your trip...

by Queennie

Use easy luggages as backpacks or travelingbags, not suitcases. Backpacks and travelingbags are easy to staple in busses and jeeps and take less space.Bagagelocks can be handy if you're traveling with expensive stuff and planing to stay in gers with strangers....you never know! It's handy to bring a (fleece)jacket of a longsleeve shirt, when traveling to the countrysides and mountains. Even in the summer it can be a little chilli at night.A hat or cap can be useful on hot summer days, and believe me...it can get very hot! Tissues can be useful for many things for e.g. to dept the sweat on a hot summer day or to use when the restaurant you've just had dinner run out of toilet paper:-)I also carry a package of babywipes (waterbased, not oily). It was handy to use as frech-up towel (instead of a shower) in the countryside touristcamp. (There was no water to shower for 3 days) I think...

Fishing equipment

by Saagar

Bring a telescopic, collapsible fishing rod from home, including reel, line and lures. Don't bring your most expensive gear, nor the type that will break down once you look at it. Dimension your equipment for fish up to about 3-4 kg (line, reel etc.). 0.30 mm regular fising line worked fine for me. Small lures and spinners (unless you go for fly fishing, og pike and taimen fishing) in the range 4-10 grams, copper, red, yellow colors seemed fine. Local advice didn't seem too smart. I wanted small, edible fish, while locals tried to make me catch 10 kgs pikes and 50 kgs Mongolian river salomon types - taimen. I went my way with a considerable degree of success. Try to catch the local trout type "lenok", which gets up to about 4 kgs; and arctic grayling that gets up to 2 kgs. Both are abundant, and very tasty fish for the pan, and fairly easy to catch. In tourist-geared stores in UB you...

Waterproof hiking shoes (need I say more?). If you are planning to swim, bring some water shoes as the bottoms of the lakes and rivers could be very very rocky.Bring some light-weight long sleeves and long pants to wear in the summer (instead of shorts and tees) - Mongolian sun is merciless and plus if you visit families in the countryside long clothes will protect you from ticks etc. And no, I've never heard of Lyme disease there, so if you get one - don't panic. Sunscreen, repellent. Some good medicine for digestive problems (whatever you use in your country) - Mongols are very hospitable and will treat you with tea, milk, airag or more and if you're polite or curious enough you better have some backup. Food is very rich and wholesome (unprocessed), so even a Mongolian gal like me had some digestive problems on the 5th day of my feasting off the generous offerings (no regrets here,...

Some extra food for the mood

by Saagar

Ready for the steppe and the fermented milk, sour cheese and other interesting dishes from different critters? I don't like sour things... and I knew this, and therefore packed some small tin cans of bread spread of various kinds. I guessed bread of some kind would be available.Proved to be a very good solution and really worked as a mood raiser when (or rather afterwards, on the sly...) the others were guzzling their airag, goat vodka (yes, I tried that, too) and very old sour cheese. The locals definitely took a liking to tinned mackerel in tomato sauce. Next time I'll bring a ton as gifts.

IMPORTANTE DA SAPERE

by grazy56

un buon sacco a pelo a seconda della stagione e regione da visitare è necessario come quello di portare sempre una tenda con sé. D'estate le notte possono essere fredde e le temperature avere degli sbalzi di oltre 15 gradi meno. Prevedere indumenti caldi! LAVARSI: in 15 giorni ci siamo lavati 2 volte… 1 volta solo i capelli a un abbeveratoio a cammelli con un’acqua gelida… e la seconda volta abbiamo fatto un bagno alle sorgente di acqua calda di Saarjalud con acqua bollente, perché l’albergo ha solo l’acqua calda a 50 gradi… si può farsi fare un massaggio al centro di rieducazione per circa 2/3 USD e il massaggio mongolo si situa tra il massaggio laotiano e quello praticato dai fantastici ciechi di Phon Phen. In certe cittadine esistono docce pubbliche (Khatal, Tserteleg…). Se vi lavate in un ruscello o abbeveratoio NON SPORCATE L’ACQUA COL SAPONE, perché dopo quest’acqua sarà bevuta...
