Winter in Mongolia
Holidays in the Freezer!
|
The winters in Mongolia are cold and long. This is the time when
life slows down and family visits are made. Travelling through
Mongolia in winter is a very different experience. It might be
more difficult than in summer, but a journey into the cold
Mongolian countryside can be very rewarding.
