- Trekking down White River (Charlotte Austin)

- Camels carrying loads to White River (Charlotte Austin)
Our Mongolia team enjoyed some fantastic weather during their climb and it held out for their trek to White River Campground in Mongolia. Charlotte checked in to report that it was a great day, visiting a local family in their Ger (Yurt) and taking in the beautiful White River. The river is correctly named because of the glacial silt that is present in the water. It is a unique experience trekking down this valley because you are accompanied by the 2 hump camels, yaks, horses, and a ton of goats and sheep.
The team was settling in for the night and Charlotte said that there was a beautiful lightning storm in the distance giving them a final show before they head towards Bayan Olgii in the morning. The vans will have the team departing right after breakfast and will take them through desert land.
All is well in Mongolia!
