Mongolian Exotic Fiber Tour

Visit spectacular natural places of Mongolia, Khorgo Volcano, Tamir river, Khuvsgul Lake, Deer stone and historical sites. Meet the nomads of Mongolia and learn from their unique culture and way of living. Walking, horseback riding, camel and yak wool spinning and knitting with local community activities.

Camel, yak, sheep and goats fill an important role in Mongolian nomadic life. For many centuries Mongol nomads have produced goat, sheep, camel and yak wools for clothing, making a felt covers for ger shelters, and a variety of other items, including ropes. Nowadays, Mongolian goat cashmeres are world famous products; however, ecological concerns over the large number of goats has raised questions about negative impact to the environment. Camel and yak have comparably fine and soft wools and their husbandry causes less harm to the environment. We support the raising of yak and producing more fiber from them as an eco-friendly action. The world is considering the environment in all decisions, yet it takes time to educate local herders. When our guests visit and learn about their yak wool processing and we enjoy their hospitality, we are also promoting this ecologic awareness. Some members of the local society understand the importance of yak wool usage rather goat cashmere, and others are learning. They became encouraged and involved, and stay happy due to our visit and exchange of experiences. Also, staying in the gers (yurt), spinning yak wool yarn, knitting, eating locally cooked meals, hiring horses and camels for trekking are all producers of small fees, which directly benefit the community.

Gratitude and Entrepreneurship

In the bible Jesus healed 10 men with lepers. The unhealable ill of that time till death. But he cured them all. They all went happily but only one returned to Jesus and fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thank. Jesus said where are other nine and he was disappointed. Why is gratitude important? Let’s think about it. Well could we reflect upon our lives as individuals. We will soon discover much to prompt our personal gratitude. Can we think about how grateful we are for our mother, father, teachers, and friends? All it starts from what they have done to your life. Thing of every detail and big and small things. Observe your feeling to come. How does it relate to entrepreneurship? The pursuit of opportunities is the essence of entrepreneurship. We define an opportunity as a future state that is both desirable and achievable. We also make a distinction among ideas, possibilities, and opportunities. The process of identifying and exploiting entrepreneurial opportun...

How will you measure your life?

I had some take away from the article “How will you measure your life” Harvard Business Review. It is always difficult to someone what to do, especially to your family members, boss and investors etc. Many smart people don’t tell others what to do, instead inspire them. Clayton M Christensen shared the story of how he influenced “Intel” chairman Andrew Grow about insisting him produce “Celeron” CPU for the market. It was not good approach to advice directly what to do. But he was talking about the model and how it helped Nucor and other companies. Basically, he was not telling him what to think rather how to think. From my perspective it was about helping him to make a right decision with conflicted communication technique. Sametime I think why it is that way. Why it is not simply telling directly what is the best way? Clayton M. Christensen understands the complicated world including the rank of people, professional communication, business culture and many other things. He co...

Modern Mongolia

Some may think Mongolia is endless steppe and Gobi Desert and men on horse galloping. That is true only in some parts of Mongolia. One third of the population is nomadic and almost half of the population is living in the capital city Ulaanbaatar. The city is a mix of ancient Buddhist temple, soviete period block buildings and modern architecture. This is central hub of all the country for trade and supply. The railway comes from Russia to all the way to China. Highways connected all the 21 provinces nowodays. Ulaanbaatar has the only international airport and becomes the central spot for tourists around the world. The heavy traffic and sky scrapers in down town surrounded by ger district and mountains is the main image of the city. Shangri-La, Best Western Permium and other chain hotels provide comfortable hotel stay while some ger camps offer unique stay outside of town. If the visitor reluctant to eat local food can choose western meal restaurants Bluefin, California, Nazk...
