MORE CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
Dear Samar Magic
Tours,
I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed my Mongolian vacation.
The location of the "Chinggis" tourist camp is extremely beautiful.
You should put pictures of the surrounding area on your
website. I think if foreigners saw how beautiful it was they would
like to come and spend a longer time, like I did, not just pass
through. Nara was a wonderful translator and a big help all around.
She helped me have the best vacation possible. The food was excellent.
The horses were better than American horses. I was never bored.
If you want to use anything I wrote in advertisement , you have
my permission.
Sincerely, Mrs. Margaret Keene (U.S.A).
"CHINGGIS"
TOURIST CAMP: Located in the
Tuul Valley, this majestic setting with its green hills and flocks
of sheep was reminiscent of Ireland. Most people think of Mongolia
as desert, and indeed, the southern part is. Here, though, about
55 km eastern of Ulaan Baatar it was all hills, rivers, and valleys
with mountains in the background.
Yours truly, Maxwell C. Berins (U.S.A)/
