Call of the<br />

Majestic<br />

Mountains<br />

Venturing into Mongolia’s vast mountain ranges,<br />

a photographer sees its endless wild beauty and<br />

the perfect backdrop for a festival that honours<br />

the ancient tradition of falconry.<br />

Late autumn, in the midst of cold weather in Ulaanbaatar,<br />

we packed our bags and set off on our journey at dawn. We<br />

flew across a vast stunning landscape. Awestruck, the view<br />

transitioned from dry desolate desert to grand mountain ranges<br />

blanketed in white shining snow that gently turned light pink,<br />

painted by the touch of dawn.<br />

We finally landed in the Far West of Mongolia, home to the<br />

Kazakhs, who are known for their unique lifestyle, language<br />

and culture.<br />

After sunrise, the spectacular view of Ölgiy city clearly<br />

forms. It’s like looking at a toy board with miniature colourful<br />

houses, as it lines along the silvery Hobda River, surrounded by<br />

the seemingly endless range of the Altai Mountains.<br />
