Our tourists call him Ulzii. Like most of the Mongolian countryside boys Ulzii learned to ride horses from the early age. His guiding experience started when he was 16 years old following his father. Since then it has been 8 years as he became an officially trained and certified horseback tour guide.
When he talks about his tourists he calls them by their citizenship, like an American citizen, or a Swiss citizen. This is his way of treating his clients with great reverence. Also, he loves and understands his horses very well. Just make sure you follow his instructions. He even prepares Mongolian national outfits for you to wear in order to make you smell familiar to the horses. Ulzii lives in Khatgal town of Khuvsgul aimag (the northern province of Mongolia) with his wife and a daughter.
