Jessie on a Journey

Trekking the Altai Mountains of Mongolia

Mongolia's Altai Mountains are epic!⁠ ⛰️😍⁠ That time I flew across the world to Mongolia, landed in Ulaanbaatar, flew another 2 hours to Ulgii & drove 5 hours (mainly off-roading) into the Altai Mountains to do a ger homestay in one of the most stunning places on earth.⁠ 🌍⁠ I think it was worth it. 😉 Swipe right 👉 for some photos and let me know if you agree!⁠ 😁⁠ The Altai Mountains are known for their breathtaking natural beauty, with rugged peaks, deep valleys, pristine lakes & winding rivers. These landscapes provide a home for animals like snow leopards, argali sheep, ibex, golden eagles & more.⁠ 🦅⁠ This remote region is also home to diverse ethnic groups - like the Kazakhs, Mongolians, Tuvans, and others - each with their own unique traditions, languages, and ways of life. I personally stayed with a Kazakh family while visiting and it was incredible getting to know them & their culture a bit more.⁠ 🛖⁠ I'll share more about the homestay experience in a future post!⁠ 📍⁠ What’s the most remote place you’ve ever been?⁠ ✈️ #BeyondTheGuidebook⁠
