01 September Mongolia Jonty Crane
Jonty just returned from an 11-day hike in the Kharkhiraa and Turgen mountains in western Mongolia. Led by adventurer and author Tim Cope, the group hike followed traditional nomadic routes through vast steppe, alpine valleys and high mountain passes, with camels carrying gear between camps. Jonty will share encounters with nomadic families, and what it was like to hike through this remote and incredible landscape.
