THE WILD WEST (OF MONGOLIA) WELCOME TO A TRULY WILD RIDE
WORDS/PHOTOS ROBERT CRICK

“ Finding one’s way in this terrain was a challenge even for our Mongolian guide and support team ”

Western Mongolia is stark and remote, mostly bare of trees,with a mix of open steppe, hills and rocky outcrops, and semi-desert. Even in the more fertile parts, large sand dunes with wide sandy grasslands surround partly ice-covered lakes. We encountered isolated gers (yurts) with the family livestock nearby or being watched by a lone nomad on his pony.
