Another very interesting part of our trip was to try and taste the famous Mongolian BBQ! Nothing to compare to any Mongolian restaurant you know which are offering barbecued meat for sure but not in the traditional way… This is the real and only true...

After a quick explanation of the absence of shower during our trip in Mongolia, I decided to show how how to do it in the Mongolian way of life. For this, you will need of course to have a beautiful river running not too far from where you are staying...

Not present in the Gobi desert, the yaks are a predominant part of the cattle of this family. They still have few goats and sheep of course. Their size is quite impressive and they could be related to cows. If they haven’t been sheared off recently, they...
