Altai mountains
After a long break I am posting a picture from the last trip to Altai mountains where Eagle festival was organised in October 2007. Our arranging of the tour may have been quite squeezed as a lot of time was spent on driving. Personally I enjoyed the tour very much. The following picture was taken near Mt Huiten (Mt Cold), the highest peak in Mongolia, the westernmost point on Mongolian border.
Just during our ride the sky became very clear and we even had to take off some of the jackets and coats. The previous day some adventure mountaineers could not reach the place as it snowed heavily. After us other people also did not reach the glacier. But all tourists met at the Eagle Festival at Sagsai soum and later at Olgii town, sharing our stories. I wondered how come that the most spoiled of all people, us, not the tough mountaineers, reached the best of the spot in Altai mountains. When we returned to UB, the weather became increasingly worse. Did we steal the best of the Altai show?
