Nomad land blog

After spending one whole day in Ulaangom city of Uvs aimag, we hit the road to Zavkhan aimag to the south east. The road passes by the huge Lake Khyargas. Uvs province boasts the northern most point of desert landscape with dunes to the east of Ulaangom. North of this aimag Tuva republic of Russia exists.

Lake Khyargas: Is art imitating life or life imitating art?

Driving around the shore of the lake for few hours, in the evening we came to this place run by a mama who made meal for travelers to make money for her daughter’s tuition. The daughter studies in Ulaanbaatar.

Like most self sufficient nomads, she had a solar panel and a dish antenna. Truck drivers help in the supply of sacks of flour, sugar, oil, and veggies.  Having fixed our tyre, we moved from here around sunset and spent the night in the car after few hours.
