Western Mongolia
The western aimags offer adventurous travel and exploration. Adrenalin junkies can
break out the mountain bike, kayak or mountaineering gear. Start with a flight to
Khovd
,
from where you can hire a jeep and driver for a birdwatching and wildlife expedition to
Khar Us Nuur National Park
. At nearby
Chandmani,
visit the renowned throat sing-
ers. Stop by
Dörgön
sum
(district) for the chance to meet Megjin, a bona fide Green Tara
(enlightened Buddha).
Looping back through Khovd, continue northwest to the beautiful pastures and valley
around
Tsambagarav Uul
. You could easily spend a couple of days here before moving
on to
Ölgii
, a great place to recharge your batteries.
