Mongolia has been one of my favorite destinations for several years. The Taimen, a relative of our trouts, is my target. For some time I have been pondering whether I should go for the Taimen in Siberia or in Mongolia. In the end, I chose Mongolia.

The journey is very tiring. The flight from Munich to Beijing, then from Beijing to Ulaan Bator, the capital of Mongolia. An overnight stay there and another private charter flight the next morning almost to the final destination. In the end, another 2.5 hours with an off-road vehicle on a dirt road.
