Trip to Bayan-Olgii : Khoton Nuur

Our final destination of this travel was a lake "Khoton Nuur" where is just to the border of China.The place could look like Leman lake 3000 years ago when there was nobody living around. The landscape was so familiar !

Since our Kazakh guide has family everywhere in Bayan Olgii, we could stay by her uncle and cousin's gher who were still in true nomadic life style.
They collaborate to herd 1000 sheeps with 2 other families. They produce mostly cheese and meat from their animal and actually, except fried bread, they don't eat other food. So when we offered an orange, they made big eyes !



When we met the oncle of our kazakh guide, we had a strong impression to be in Central Asia !

And always a lot of kids !

The kazakh people live in bigger ger than mongolian people. This family had a pretty dreamy place

...and inside, we could see the traditional kazakh embroideries. The bed was specially amazing.
