Ulaanbaatar (Ulan Bator)
Ulaanbaatar is the capital of Mongolia with 1.5 million people in the Tuul valley.
Mongolia is a very difficult country to live. The environment is very inhospitable and most of it has no forests, rivers, and vegetation is always low.
That is why even today, a large part of the population is nomadic, as they have to change to feed their animals and survive.
After visiting the capital, I went to Gobi Desert. Then I could really see the difficulty of the place, without water, without the means to plant anything.
They basically live by raising some animals.
Gobi desert
The Gobi Desert is a vast, arid region in northern China and southern Mongolia.
It is known for its dunes, mountains and rare animals, such as snow leopards and Bactrian camels, which are two-humped camels native to this area.
The place is truly devoid of anything, including roads, and even the water holes are not the oases we imagine.
It is very hot during the day and freezing cold at night. 5 days in this desert was enough.
After returning from the desert, it is time to continue the Trans-Siberian route towards Siberia (Russia).
