Shiliin Bogd Uul

TIME : 2016/2/17 15:16:58

This is the highest peak in Sükhbaatar aimag. The extinct volcano is sacred to many Mongolians, and it used to be the case of 'no girls allowed' when it came to climbing the mountain, but it seems that the local divine powers have a more egalitarian mindset these days; several local women climbed the mountain when we visited. A pungent odour surrounds the large main ovoo at the top, topped with a horsehair pennant and covered in offerings of food, milk and coins.
