This is the River Kherlen. it's one of the largest in Mongolia. It is shallow and wide and quite clean. Along it for several kilometers runs a nature reserve called Guun Galuut. And in the reserve is a tourist ger camp. We made it our headquarters for 5 days.
Below is the lodge..kinda cool looking, no? Hot showers in the afternoon when they heated up the wood furnace. Electricity provided by a small solar array and a wind generator (plenty of both of those resources!)
This is the inside of the roof of the ger. Of course, I was happy...it's all orange!
Here's BoomBoom heading back to the camp after a long ramble. You can see the squat white gers around the lodge.
The river again. It is a very beautiful place, but in a subtle way that grows on you and that photography cannot capture. Nothing technological as far as the eye could see. Not a fence, not a road, not a power line. Just space and profound quiet.
