Wow!! Ger to Ger’s nomadic herders had successfully organized their very first winter Naadam for a distinguished American film director this February! This community managed eco tourism initiative that focuses on organizing rural Naadam Festivals allows G2G herders to coordinate events with the greater community thus allowing non-G2G nomadic families to systematically and traditionally earn addtional incomes via cultral eco tourism.

Hello everyone!

Today all G2G Team is going out to our winter pasture in Gachurt for a rest and to do some outdoor eco tourism development works with local Mongolian nomadic groups that have migrated from Uvs Province. We will be back in the office Monday!

G2G Team

Based on 2007 summer research and 2008 winter field studies, Ger to Ger is expanding its project to include nomadic families in the Selenge Region. Several nomadic routes have been developed in partnership with local nomadic herder families (6 and 3 day horse riding community trips) will be piloted for the 2008 tourism season.

In addition to this, G2G with locals have identified several areas that require basic and cost effective social investments that will be written into proposals shortly for fundraising.

G2G Team has just returned from an amazing winter travel (field works) from Northern Mongolia! We all spent 3 days in living among a nomads that migrated from Uvs Province in search of better social economic opportunities. We will be posting this winter adventure shortly for everyone.

Best to all,

G2G Team
