My unbelievable journey in the Nomadic Land of Mongolia comes to an end. Returned to Ulaanbaatar last evening after 8 days of grueling yet fascinating road expedition covering a distance of about 2000 kms which included parched, unforgiving Gobi desert to driving into Orkhon valley and Khangai mountains which can easily be termed as the Scotland of the east, beautiful, lush green and cold. Words and pictures will not do justice to the experience I’ve had. One has to come to Mongolia to experience it.
The incredible journey started on 13th morning. The entourage consisted of 4 Toyota Land Cruisers, 1 Lexus, 5 drivers, 2 chefs, 2 mechanics, 2 professional photographers and Venky, the brain behind the this new upstart company. We moved southwards from the capital city Ulaanbaatar to Baga Gazrin, visiting a small but a significant monastery along. Tonight I get to experience my first of the several Ger camps. A Ger is a traditional portable, round tent covered with skins or felt and used as a dwelling by nomads.
