The approach to Tsengel Khairkhan Mountain, Mongolia.

People here catch eagles and falcons and train them to hunt in the winter. This bird was very young, so not that well trained yet.

I stayed in the ger on the right.

Inside the ger. Note that next to a wedding photo is a certificate for 1,000,000 tugrik, promised by one of the political parties to each family if they were elected(around 1000 USD).
