Getting the chance to visit Mongolia was a treat, even though it happened to be mostly for work and in the middle of February. Nevertheless, there were a few hours here and there to explore the city and surroundings.

One notable adventure is hiking up to Tsetsee Gun summit in the Bogd Khan Mountains south of town

At the south end of the mountains there is an abandoned monastery
