Find the best way, Mongolia
Wild Camping in the Gobi desert, Mongolia
Nothing but sand and dust around. A flat land hammered by a XXXX sun. The temperature rises above 40 degree during the day and barely drop under 10 at night in mid april. The distance here are tricky to estimate. Ervery thing looks close because of teh flat land. But we cycled almost two days before reaching the other side of the valley (back of the picture)
The lost village of XXXX, Mongoia
Nomads alwas carry a pai of binocular. We don't. We learn. It take us a bit more than an hour to find XXXXX. The village is in a "renfoncement" stuck against the hills. Therefore it has natural protection against the sandstorm. Also and like everywhere else a river is oproviding water to the entire village.
The Gobi Desert (1), Mongolia
WInter has suddenly disappeared. The temperature rises very fast andf by noon it is above 40 degrees (celsius). Everything is dry. No Birds flying, no lifestock, no man. Just an XXXX sun and sand, plenty of sand. And two or three times a day, we see a truck full of goods to supply the basics to the remopte village of the area.
The country of blue sky, Mongolia
Mongolia is also called the country of blue sky. Its extrem continental climate make it a very dry area, especially in the south of the country. Amaizing sky and lights for our firsts days in the country. Time also to get rid of a common missconsuption. Mongolia is not a flat land. It is actually the exact opposit.
The Landlord, Mongolia
On the side of the track a Ger. This is XXXX place. No barrier to "delimiter" XXXX property. It could be everyting around. And because there is nothing around, XXX coudl vritually be the landlord of a massive property. I didn't get to uinderstand how properties work in this country. If they had to lend the place to put the ger on or if they could put everywhere they wanted. But then what would happen if it iis also someone else place. Anyway, the thing I know as granted is that if you see a Ger and go to speak with the people you will have the chance to camp either next to the ger or even to sleep in the ger.
Surrounded by scholars, Mongolia
This is what happen if you settle down for an hour near a shool in a remote mongolian village with two strange bicycle coming from the other side of the world. Here is only a portion of these kids. They are all very excited by our uncommon acvquaintance. Communication is not easy so we stay with the very basic "what is your name". Unfortunately even with that I can't understand their pretty long name and they barely can understand mine.
