A friend of mine asked me to edit tech and engineering articles of Mongolian version of Britannica Encyclopedia. Reluctantly I accepted. After starting to edit, I turned it back as too much time was spent on it - after first 100 or so articles.
But still under intense request I had to take it again. Not sure if I can deliver enough by the deadline.
From Bayan Ulgii, we headed to Hovd to catch flight to UB. On the way we passed by Tsambagarav.
Having visited the petroglyph gallery, we moved to see an eagle hunter’s family. But it had snowed during the night. Plowing through snowy trail, we visited a family.

After the treks, the tour continued to Tsagaan Salaa, a place with a gallery of rock paintings (petroglyphs).
A lot of modern day graffiti is found too.
