Day: 274
The Mongolian population doesn’t actually believe in roads of any sort, everyone is just required to have four wheel drive then plow through the countryside creating fresh tracks. About half the time we are driving along with absolutely no road of any sort, and the other half of the time we are in the tracks that were created a few days before by the last bunch of tourists in a 4×4.
From time to time, our driver will pull over at some random ger, mumble at us in Mongolian then go inside for 10 minutes (I assume he’s having a cup of tea). He’ll then come out with a smile on his face, jump in the front seat and point off in the distance at some hill, herd of goats or vast expanse of nothingness and happily tool away with us in a new direction. A very interesting way to travel.
After five or six hours piled in our van, we made it to the base of Khongoryn Els (Some giant sand dunes) where we found another Ger camp to sleep in. Tomorrow is camel riding through the dunes!
