I got a real taste of Mongolian nomadic life when I ventured into the heart of the Gobi Desert. This was a ger camp in the thick of the desert. As I mentioned, gers are nomadic tents in which Mongolian nomads live, and I had the opportunity to stay in one of these ger camps.
The highlight of my day was riding a camel deep into the heart of the desert as I navigated the sand dunes. I then sat down with a few nomads who were shearing a camel. This was the first time I saw how wool is sheared from a live camel, and I eagerly jumped at the opportunity to shear the large beast myself.

The desert gets really cool at night as loud winds whistle past my ears. Until then, enjoy the pictures and videos of my desert safari in Mongolia.
