One of the safest places I’ve ever travelled. The cold was intense (especially coming from a warm climate), but the reward was something else entirely.
Endless open landscapes, nomadic families moving across the steppe, camels and horses roaming freely, and a sense of space so vast it almost feels unreal.
This was an impromptu winter trip, and it’s easily one of the most memorable journeys I’ve done.
