Western Mongolia (Late Summer 2004)

One can become lost just by gazing into the hundreds of valleys, mountains, and ridges of the lower Altai in Bayan Olgiy province One day after this pic was taken Tim sold his horses near the village of Tsengel and finished the Mongolian leg of the journey.

Dashnim and the camel head into the Kharkhiraa mountains All together Tim and Dashnim spent eight days crossing over a high pass, at one point reaching 3700m.

Khotont people are a small tribe in Mongolia Most of them live among the Kharkirhaa mountains where Tim travelled with a pack-camel.

Dashnim poses with the camel, his horse, and one of Tim's horse just before they set off on their eight day trek across the high Kharkirhaa mountains.
