MONGOLIA SUNSET

On a grassy plain in a wide valley of the Altai Mountains in far western Mongolia, we set up a private ger camp near a nomad encampment. This was my “ger” – a Mongol nomad round tent with a wooden frame – that was my home while we learned about the nomad way of life, including, out here, hunting with eagles.  It’s hard to describe how peaceful and serene it is in this remote place – like we had a whole world to ourselves.

There are very few places left on earth where a truly nomadic life still flourishes, a life that uniquely experiences a special freedom.  You find it here.  (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #305 photo ©Jack Wheeler)
