il faut un permis pour pêcher en mongolie, certes vous ne devriez pas rencontrer beaucoup de policiers et de surveillants lors de votre périple a bord de votre véhicule, mais mieux le savoir. en principe le permis est délivré que pour une zone donnée donc a savoir si il existe la solution pour toutes les zones de peche... je en sais pas...
a certains endroits là ou sont installés les structures des agences on ne peut pas pêcher, : chasse gardée...
c'est +/- la situation generale
pour d'autres infos pratiques de la vie courante peut être trouverez qq chose d'intéressant sur mes pages http://www.terramongolia.com
avons sur place des contacts fiables qui pourraient vous aider pour el permis? mais aussi peuvent vous accueillir a votre arrivée, vous loger dans modeste guest hosue, mettre votre véhicule à l'abri à Ub et qui sait pouvoir vous répondre au sujet de guides ponctuels? sans engagement vous pouvez essayer de contacter en anglais directement mejet69@yahoo.com
en esperant que tout cela et ce qui suit va vous aider un peu
bon voyage
FISHING MONGOLIA
Fly-Fishing rivers also include - the Ider, Delgermoron, Bugsei, Selenge and Chuluut Rivers.
Lake fishing includes - Terkhiin Tsagaan Nuur (White Lake) - Arkhangai Aimag and Khovsgol Lake - Khovsgol Aimag.
(There are opportunities for stunning hikes both at White Lake and Lake Khovsgol as well as horse trekking)
Just so you know - to fish in Mongolia you are meant to have a permit. Out-of-the-way rivers are usually unpatrolled - but this does not mean that you don't need a licence. You should not just pitch up and fish - even though people do. If you are fishing within a national park you can obtain a permit from the local national park administration offices. Your best bet is to contact one of the companies that run fishing tours just to make sure what the exact rules and regulations are.
As you probably know Mongolia is vast - the size of Western Europe - and travelling its kilometres can take up time. If you would like to travel independently it is possible to travel by public transport (mini-van) from Ulaan Baatar to Murun (capital town of Khovsgol Aimag - the Delgermoron river flows through Murun and is said to be excellent for fly fishing). You could then travel from Murun to Khatgal (the small town at the south of Lake Khovsgol). By visiting Lake Khovsgol you could be relatively independent and still achieve all that you would like within your time frame.
The area is Khovsgol Nuur National Park - known as both the Blue Pearl of Mongolia and Dalai Ej (Mother Sea). It is located within the Siberian taiga - an area of alpine meadows and forest steppe. Within Khatgal there are many small Mongolian owned ger camps and travel operators - recomended to me is MS Guesthouse (but of course there are others - maybe look for reports on this forum). The ger camp /travel operator should be able to help you with your fishing permit and from this base you would be able to organise a horse trek, hiking (the Khoridol Saridag mountains are stunning) and of course you could fish to your hearts content.
Please be aware that Khovsgol is an incredibly fragile environment of international importance - just check to see how responsible the ger camp / travel operator is regarding protecting the environment.

Je suis allé pêcher en Mongolie plusieurs fois, avec des organisations variées, et pourrais vous donner quelques conseils. En tous cas, c'est la première fois que je vois quelqu'un y aller avec son propre véhicule.
J'aurais un peu plus de temps demain ou après-demain. Si vous avez une adresse mail, ce sera plus simple pour communiquer.
Si j'oubliais, n'hésitez pas à me relancer directement sur mon mail plutôt qu'en passant par ce forum (jdupuis@lexpress.fr)
Le hasard fait qu'en juin 2012, je serai à Serriera, non loin d'Osani, je crois...
bonjour,
j'ai aussi le projet de m'y rendre et de faire du vélo la bas cet été , ainsi que de pêcher...
je me suis renseigné et apparemment le fait de pêcher sans permis ne pose pas de problème... je crois avoir lu qu'un gars est tombé sur espece de garde et qu'il a pu s'arranger avec lui...
en même temps je ne veux pas trop m'avancer, je te dis ici que le condensé de ce que j'ai pu fouiné mais je n'y suis jamais aller moi même...
d'autres part, d'autres ont pêcher sans permis donc, et sans agences aussi, et toujours sans soucis...perdu dans la steppe...
par contre, certains ont dit qu'il valait mieux s'éloigner des lieux trop fréquenter par les clients des agences, a la fois pour être tranquille et pour éviter les ennuis de permis... notamment vers le lac khovsgol...
voila , c'est a peu prés tout
ah, aussi, apparemment c'est assez difficile de suivre le cours d'une rivière, pas réellement de pistes en suivant une, donc il faut procéder par morceaux ou a la boussole !
que penses tu de rester en contact, on sera peut être au même moment au même endroit...?!
a bientôt
et oui je pars la bas avec le bj transformé pour l occase; env 35000 km allé et retours en 4 ou 5 mois
merci pour ces quelques reponses intéressantes
j avais envoyé un mail a pescadorfeliz qui m a repondu tres aimablement sur son experience
pas besoin selon lui de permis pour pecher la truite ça est la
mais demander au chef du village ou proprietaire de la yourt la plusproche et les portes parait il, s' ouvrent automatiquement contre un petit cadeau ou une petite somme d argent
y compris sur les domaines soit disant reservés par les agences, mieux vaut peut etre s eloigner des camps spécialisés ou les contacter pour profiter d une journée de peche
je vous conseille de lire l exelent compte rendu du tres fameux pescadorfeliz en dessous de ce post
Suis allé pêcher souvent la-bas, parfois dans des zones très isolées, mais, contrairement à ce qu'à vu Pescadorfeliz, quasiment jamais croisé d'autres pêcheurs, sauf sur la Tchulut, et quelques locaux, mal équipés, à un ou deux endroits.Ce n'est en rien un problème, en Mongolie...
En revanche, pour communiquer avec les Mongols et bien profiter de ce séjour, je conseillerais quand même de prendre un interprète...

Hi everyone! 😊
I’m looking for a place in Albania to go scuba diving with my boyfriend. We’ve never done it before and we’d love to try this activity.
Thanks so much! 🌺🌺
hi
I wanted to know the best snorkeling spots in Tuamotu since I unfortunately don’t have enough time to do everything—I’ll have to pick and choose.
Thanks in advance for your help!
I’d describe myself as a "former diver." I’ve done around 450 dives in natural environments across different settings. I put diving on hold about 5 years ago due to work/schedule constraints and, let’s say, family reasons. Since then, I’ve still tried to stay in shape with hiking trips, running, swimming, and freediving in protected environments, etc...
I’m planning to get back into the bubbles somewhere this year.
Any destinations you’d recommend—or avoid—for getting back into it?
I’m looking for a spot for April/May this year.
For my trip to Thailand with two teens aged 13 and 16, do you have any info or tips to share? I’d like to go jet skiing, either in Phuket or Koh Samui, but I’d need at least two jet skis since there are three of us. Can my 16-year-old ride alone? Is it better to rent on-site or book an all-inclusive excursion online or in person?
Our Bali-Lombok trip is taking shape, but we’d love to wrap up the stay with at least a solid week of snorkeling somewhere the coral is still in great condition. In your opinion, are the Gili Secrets in southern Lombok better than Flores Island, where there are supposedly amazing underwater landscapes?
We’ll be in Dahab again this October—we’ve been going since 1979—to freedive. In 2025, to our surprise, access to the Blue Hole is now paid: on top of the 10 € taxi fare, you have to pay $10 per person to enter the park. So we’re heading outside Dahab to the Three Pools site by bike, rented locally. Is there a bus that goes there, or shared taxis, instead of the tourist taxis? And where can we catch them? We’ve seen big buses full of local families on the site, but we don’t know where to find them. Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
The comments about this public beach are generally negative:
tiny beach, crowded, dirty, and noisy.
Is that really the case?
Could you please post some of your recent photos of the public beach—not photos from the big hotels?
Hello,
For flight schedules and prices from Bordeaux, and ease of reaching Alexandria by bus/train afterward, I’m considering spending 4 days around Hurghada (direct flight from Bdx).
I don’t think I’ll go for courses to get my Level 1, since I don’t plan to dive often in the future—unless you think it’s better than doing 2 discovery dives in this area (I only have one baptism under my belt, in Koh Tao 15 years ago—amazing! But I’m not targeting trips for diving; I need to go to Alexandria, so this is a chance to get back into diving and snorkeling).
I’m looking for a spot to do some snorkeling, 1 or 2 baptisms, and explore the surroundings. I’ll arrive in early March on the evening of Day 0. I’ll have 3.5 days after that (I’m planning to leave on Day 4 around 4 PM by bus/train).
Is Hurghada completely to be avoided in favor of another area in the Red Sea, or can I still have a nice 3.5 days there? I know places like Dahab are more pleasant, but the convenience and timing of Hurghada appeal to me...
I usually prefer more authentic travel spots and places, but I’m willing to compromise on that if it’s still worth it for the diving.
Or should I only stay 2.5 days and head to Alexandria a day earlier? (I’ve already seen Cairo and Luxor a bit.)
Hi there,
I’m heading to Hurghada for a few days in November. I’m looking for a spot where I can go snorkeling right from the beach. Is that still possible, or do you absolutely need to take a boat trip to see anything worthwhile?
I’ve read about Makadi Bay, but also that it’s packed with big resort complexes—which I’d rather avoid. Are there any beaches accessible without staying at one of those huge hotels?
Any great tips or advice for me?
Thanks in advance,
Lucille
Hey everyone!!
I’m planning a 3-month trip to the Philippines for May 2026.
As a diving enthusiast, I’d love to hear about must-visit diving spots.
I’m traveling with a buddy, and we don’t really want to spend all our time moving around, so if you have recommendations for one area that’s better than others for diving, that’d be great!
What do you think are the best diving sites? (I’d appreciate an overview of the country so I can decide based on that.)
Compared to my buddy, I love macro photography (nudibranchs, etc.), so I’d also love any tips on that.
And completely unrelated to diving, but I’d also like info on places to visit (national parks, reserves, etc.) to see the local wildlife.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to reply!
Safe travels, everyone!
Hello everyone!
So glad to be back on this forum to swap some great tips.
I’m heading to Malaysia from mid-May to mid-August 2025 for nearly 3 months.
With my advanced certification in hand for a few years now, I’m on the lookout for the best dive spots in Malaysia.
I’ve obviously heard about the Perhentians and Sipadan.
Someone mentioned Tioman too, but not necessarily for diving.
Do you have any feedback on these places for diving? (visibility, marine life diversity, etc.)
Any idea about the rates for fun dives?
Dive centers you’d recommend?
Any help would be super valuable for planning the trip, so thanks a million in advance to those who take the time to reply.
Safe travels, everyone!!
Hi there.
For taking photos while snorkeling, is it better to go with a disposable camera or a waterproof pouch? If a pouch, which brand is reliable? Thanks for your feedback!
Hi there,
I’m looking for a destination in Vietnam for January to spend a week and go snorkeling.
Anyone have any suggestions?
I know Thailand well, and with my Thai friend, we’d like to try a different country.
This is the excursion we shouldn’t have done in Mauritius.
We did it with The Friendly Dodo, but from what I saw, it’s the same with most agencies.
Departure at 6 a.m. (even though the sun rises at 7 a.m. in August). Why? Because there’s only one well-known spot where the dolphins are, and all the agencies race to get there first.
For 45 to 60 minutes, it’s just straight-line navigation to the spot. No one’s looking for dolphins—we’re just speeding there in silence, full throttle.
Once we arrive, there are already 5-6 boats. The dolphins are there, sure. The boats fight for the best position, cutting off the dolphins’ path, and then—go, go, go—everyone jumps in. Not a single instruction is given on how to approach the dolphins respectfully. Result: everyone jumps in at the same time from 3 boats, creating a huge splash, and rushes toward the dolphins. Outcome: faced with this chaos, the dolphins dive, and you can’t see them from the boat anymore. The swimmers who are right in their path might see them pass below for a few seconds at best.
Everyone climbs back onto the boats, and as soon as the dolphins resurface, the same cycle starts all over again.
After 5 or 6 jumps like this (3 of which I didn’t even see the dolphins), it’s back to the port the same way we came.
Not a single explanation is given during the entire excursion about the dolphins themselves or how to approach them.
Safety-wise, I didn’t feel comfortable either with all the boats fighting for position. I bumped into another boat (no pain) while swimming, and I wasn’t reassured about the propellers.
With all this circus, my daughters didn’t even want to get in the water. The problem is, when you stay on the boat, you don’t get much out of it either—because as soon as the dolphins resurface, everyone jumps in haphazardly and scares them off again.
Having done the same kind of outing in Réunion, I can confirm it’s nothing like this (much better organized and ultimately much more rewarding in Réunion).
Under these conditions, this is an activity we never should’ve done! !
My partner and I are heading to Mauritius at the end of October (Tamarin Bay), and one of our wishes is to find a great small-group excursion out at sea to meet dolphins.
I’m looking for a provider that’s respectful of the animals and gives us a fun, discovery-filled day.
I’ve heard a lot about Amistad on this site—what do you think?
Do you have any tried-and-tested alternatives to suggest?
Thanks so much!
We're heading to Praslin, La Digue, and Mahé for 15 days in early March. Do you have any good snorkeling spots to recommend? Just to let you know, we're beginners, and I get scared easily if it's too deep.
Also, another important question: what do you do with your belongings on the beach while snorkeling? Our phones, accommodation keys, wallets, etc.?
Hi everyone!
I’ve been in Malaysia for a month now and still have two more to go. I started traveling with friends, but I’ll be solo for the next month and a half.
We did a pretty classic route: Perhentians, Cameron Highlands (which I found pointless), Tioman, and Kinabatangan in Borneo. Now I’m thinking of heading to Redang Island—Langkawi is also an option, but it doesn’t appeal to me as much. Any feedback on these two spots?
Especially Redang?
Any thoughts on the diving there?
So far, I haven’t had much luck with diving—at the Perhentians, it was pretty disastrous with water at 31°C 😵😫
I’d love to find a nice island where I can meet people (locals and travelers) because going from a group of six to solo at the end is going to feel weird.
So I’m open to all tips and opinions. Also, I’d love to hear about Langkawi, and if anyone knows of an island that’s a bit more off the beaten path, that’d be amazing. Thanks in advance, and happy travels to you all!
hi everyone
we’d love to visit Borneo and I’m not finding much info on it yet (just starting my research)
so I’m reaching out to you, like I do for every trip—it’s worked out great for us so far 😎
we’re a family of 4 with two teens, 14 and 18, and we’re going for 3 weeks.
what’s the weather like in August—too much rain?
any political issues to be aware of?
which little beach paradises should we not miss?
we love discovering animals and diving… any top spots?
as for airfare—any budget-friendly airlines or easy routes? (Singapore, Denpasar, etc.)
I’ve got so many questions! All of this on a reasonable budget…
thanks in advance to anyone kind enough to take the time to reply
Hi,
I’d like to do several boat trips to go snorkeling during my stay in Florès: Islands departing from Riung, Maumere, and Labuan Bajo (Seraya).
- WHO?: Do you have any contacts to organize these boat trips?
- HOW MUCH?: What’s the cost for a full-day trip, including boat rental and possibly meals (picnic, barbecue, etc.)?
Hello,
I’d like to go on a 5-day kayaking trip with snorkeling, island visits, and village tours in the Philippines. I don’t have a specific island in mind, but I’d love something off the beaten path. I’m traveling solo but can join a small group. This would be around March 20th. Thanks so much for your suggestions!
I’m looking for a 5-day kayaking and snorkeling trip with a few village visits and no mass tourism. I’m alone but open to joining a small group. Any recommendations for around March 20th? Thanks a bunch for your feedback!
Hey everyone reading my post!
I’ll be in Mexico, specifically in Playa del Carmen and Tulum, from March 11 to April 2.
I’m looking online for things to do, but they all seem pretty similar—I’m after something a bit more original but don’t wanna get ripped off either!
If you’ve had any great experiences in those areas, feel free to share them. Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
I have my flight to Malé from February 3rd to 15th.
I want to visit Malé first, then head to 2 or 3 nearby islands. I’d like to take the ferry to keep costs down.
I’d love to be able to snorkel right from the beach.
Which atolls or islands would you recommend?
Thanks for your help!
Hi there, my husband loves fishing, and during our upcoming vacation in French Polynesia, he’s planning to do two half-day trips. We’ll be staying in family-run guesthouses on the following islands: Tahiti, Moorea, Huahine, Bora Bora, Rangiroa, and Fakarava. Which type of fishing should he choose for the best experience, and on which islands? Thanks in advance for your help! 🙂
Hi there,
We’re heading to South Africa for a two-week vacation next March.
We’d love to see great white sharks and maybe even try the cage diving. We’re planning to go to Gansbaai—do you think we’ll have a chance to see them? Also, do you know of any specialized agencies that aren’t too commercial and are respectful of the animals?
Thanks
notre voyage en Indonésie étant annulé, et notre agence nous déconseillant l'Egypte, nous sommes à la recherche d'un lieu où nous pourrons faire du snorkeling depuis la plage (et en excursion bateau). Je connais un peu Zanzibar pour y être allé il y a plus de 10 ans, ainsi que Pemba (mais les prix ont explosé), et je me tourne aussi vers Mafia.
Est ce propice au snorkeling , des resorts ont ils des house reef où l'on peut voir des choses intéressantes (je ne m'attends pas non plus au niveau de la Sulawesi ou des Raja).
Merci d'avance pour toute info.
Je pose ma question malgré la situation incertaine actuellement, mais évidemment mon plan de voyage est conditionnel à l'évolution de la pandémie, donc merci de vous abstenir ceux qui me diraient juste de rester chez moi ;)
Donc, je planifie de passer l'hiver au sud de l'Europe, et ou vers les Balkans et j'aimerais savoir si c'est partout de la plongée en eau froide donc avec le drysuit et tout ou s'il y a des endroits qui sont superbes et ou je peux plonger avec un suit plus épais seulement même exemple en février et mars. J'ai lu pas mal ici sur le portugal et malte https://divezone.net/diving/portugal mais j'aimerais l'opinion récente de plongeurs du coin! :)
Ce que j'aime en plongée c'est l'eau claire, les fonds marins attrayants, la vie aquatique particulière, etc. Je ne suis pas une fan d'épaves, mais je considérerai tout les sites / pays proposés :)
Nous sommes allé faire une plongée profonde de 100 pieds à la carrière Flintkote. Nous sommes descendu sur le site de l'autobus. êtes vous déjà allé plus bas? comme a la voiture?
