Day 5 Drive

Our drive from Khuvsgul to Moron was all paved road as it had been the majority of the time so far however from Moron to Shine-Ider we were off roading! First across plains and rolling landscapes that let my imagination run wild with images of tens of thousands of Mongols riding horses under Ghengis, all to the backdrop of the Khangai Mountains. Then we get onto the mountain road to drive through the mountains themselves and it turns from arid, brown grassland to heavy, snow covered forest (Taiga) in the blink of an eye. It's incredible how quicly the landscape can change and incredible all the landscape is!! It was like we were on safari, the destinations being just as spectacular as the journey. Following the journey on maps.me there was a road marked down but in reality there was no road whatsoever, just a mish mosh of tracks leading in all directions and I was very glad that we had Bimba there to lead the way.Read more
