A view from Bogd Khan, a sacred mountain looking down into the city of Ulaanbaatar.  ASU is very close by.
 
This is a ger camp in the same area with a two humped camel spitting at anyone who got to close!

Bogd Khan is a very popular hiking area.  I didn't go far because I had forgotten it's about 10 degrees less than in Zaisan.  As you can see the fall colors are coming alive.

It's very quiet--a perfect place to meditate.

  1. Fall! Ah. Gorgeous.

    Is having two humps unusual for a camel? I know next to nothing about camels.

    1. Good question. The two-humped camel is called a Bactrian camel and is indigenous to Mongolia.
