These three horses took turns to dive into the ground and roll over and over from side to side …

… but finally we saw some wild horses in their natural habitat. We entered Hustai National Park after driving thru dirt for fifteen minutes.

There was so much dust in the air that we were advised to go deeper into the mountains. We drove thru dirt again for quite some time. Could not find any horse in their regular places.

Started heading towards the river and as we went around the corner of a mounrain, we saw a majestic group of horses trotting along the mountain on the other side.

They looked absolutely majestic. Spent about 45 minutes watching them and another smaller pack that came along.

This picture was shot from about half a mile away across the valley…

… by running along with us by the highway…

When it came to domesticated horses, they are everywhere… moving in great big herds. Here’s a part of the pack that was walking along the highway…

… what did that one guy do to be thrown out of the village 🙂

… this time from top of a mountain. You can see the 108 stupas bordering the wall along the monastery boundary…

Here is our tour guide – Sara – trying her best to imitate Roger’s face to break into Roger’s iPhone face recognition software!!!

This was built recently and is a good refresher for learning history of the Mongol Empire.

Also has a cafe with great Cafe Americano!!
