Maybe inspired by the walk to Terelj, maybe just in the need to kill energy, we went off to Zunmood by microbus and started to walk back to UB. Sounds easy, but you have to take into consideration there's a mountain 2256m high in between. The average time to do this hike is around 7-8 hours, it took us 10-11h as we got completely lost in the forest. We managed to get out of it (the forest) just before it got really dark and got to the little road at the bottom on the hill to be lucky enough to be able to take a taxi back home. It was exhausting but an amasing hike under the snow! yes snow the 31st of May!
Manzushir Monastery, all fresh and ready to be cooked! then we didnt know what it was to come!
First break, we still take it very easy, spirits are up, is not snowing yet, and eating dried mango! luxury around here!
Ah! if we only knew what it was to come then!
I even went for climbing!
The more we go up the colder it gets...
Following the tracks which lead to the owoo
Following the tracks which lead to the owoo
The mountain is known to have wolfs, a little one of them followed us...
Rehydrating ourselves at the top of the hill
Almost at the top, what it was meant to take us 2 hours it took us almost 4!
Made it! behind those rocks the owoo is waiting for us...
The scenery was breathtaking, even under the snow and the cold!
Trying to get warm during the lunch break...
The biggest owoo i've come across
French cuisine (Sebastian in the pot is french)
UB enlighten
Yes we were heading the wrong way, we had to climb again... Those rocks are deadly to the knees! Specially on the way down!
A children song comes to my head "Can't go over it, cant go under it, let's go through it!" By then I seriously couldn't do it anymore... I was trying to go over it and got stocked and stayed there for at least 5 min! Amasingly enough as soon as I got home I went dancing till 4 am... I wonder sometimes were do i get so much energy!
