Arvaikheer and into the Orkhen Valley

We left our bush camp and headed for the town of Arvaikheer for restocking. Thus largish town actually had s small regional airport!  We had lunch, shopped for groceries in the local market, purchased some horsemilk  cheese (will be an interesting lasagna tonight) and headed into the Orkhon Valley to find a bush camp.
 
 
 
 
For some of the best examples of Mongolia’s legendary historical sites, monuments and monasteries, as well as areas of breathtaking natural beauty, the Orkhon valley is a must see. The valley is the keeper of many religious and cultural antiquities; home to a number of sites that form a key part of Mongolia’s varied and fascinating history, and it was simply beautiful.  We'll be traveling through this type of terrain for the next several days.  the sunset and moonrise tonight were terrific.
