Lake Khuvsgul - Reindeers
We just got back from Lake Khuvsgul. HUGE, lovely lake, but the worst roads we've had on this trip...and believe me, that's saying something. I sat in the back for most of the trip...Japanese van...as I mentioned in my response on the previous entry, it had a/c, but we couldn't use it due to the dust.
We visited a reindeer herding family in Khuvsgul. It was extremely touristy, but I guess this family needs the cash...most of them stay up north, and there are less than 30 families left. They speak a different language. They charged to take photos of the reindeer, and sold things made out of the antlers and skins.
