Khustain Nuruu National Park, MongoliaSunday, September 6, 2009
Just returned home from three lovely days at Khustai National Park, home of the famous wild Mongolian horses. We had one day of sunshine, one day of clouds, and one day of freezing temperatures. And three days of wind. Khustai is a spectacularly beautiful place, and we even got to see two of the wild Przewalski horses. But the real surprise for us campers was a folk rock group that showed up and offered to give us and the students a free impromptu concert.
It was hauntingly beautiful music, but quite modern, too. And yes, that unearthly sound is throat singing. ("Domog" (ДОМОГ) is the name of the group.)
And here's another clip if you liked the first one:
