A welcome with an offer of dried cheese.
One of our ger camps
My roommate Rachel and I enjoying the brilliant sunshine.
This is the normal layout of the ger. A bed on either side. You must sleep with feet facing the door. A fire in the middle. We were hoping for at least one cold night so we could have the fire on, but it never happened.
The roof is half open to let light in and it can be covered if it rains.
The doors are beautifully painted
One of our desert Ger Camps.
Washing time. Most often the washing machines for doing the laundry are run off generators.
Heating the water tank for hot showers which were only turned on from 6-11pm.
What a view at the washing line.
This Ger Camp could grow some vegetables in the brief summer. They have their own underground storage.
A Ger Camp at Tsenkher hot springs. The water gurgles out of the ground at 95 degrees. A teepee type structure is built over the source and people pay their respects.
Throat singing entertainment one night.
Ger Camps in the middle of the vast steppes show magnificent sunsets.
Wishing us a safe journey by flicking milk over the tyres.
And back out into the 'great nothingness' to our next Ger Camp.
