Mongolia had only one, state owned tourism company named Juulchin when Mongolia was in the communist bloc countries.  After the social changes of 1990’s people started their own enterprises.

Then, the guides and country managers  working  in Juulchin, who  acquired enough expertise, started their own travel companies.  So we have now about 50 or more travel companies with regular operation.

Today the biggest company is maybe Juulchin still -with a fleet of cars, buses, jeeps and a whole office building.

A couple from Singapore arrived in Mongolia and visited Gobi, Lake Ogii, Karakorum, and Hustai Park. Mongolia. They were the first tourists for the company this year.

BBC caught up with the news of the human remains found in Altai mountains. It is written below here. An article with pictures from BBC is:

4 Spaniards had their travel in Mongolia arranged by us. They traveled to Gobi and Hustai national park. They are traveling through Russia, Mongolia and China.

Last week Mongolian and Russian joint expedition of scientists found a grave of an ancient human who had marmot leather coat, felt boots, and sheep skin pants.

This, according to the scientists who discovered it, is the 3rd ever human remain found with marmot skin coat. Also there was a bowl made from horn. I don’t know how that can be made so. But it is the 4th bowl or utensil made from horn, ever to be found worldwide, they say.

Many other items were found which will make scientists from many fields busy for months or years. They believe now they can study sheep wool property of sheep living 2500 years ago.

Quite an important object with many implications.
