Snowy summer day in Mongolia

I had a chance to visit Terelj National Park in Khentii mountains of Mongolian one of the oldest mountain in the world. Main interesting part starts when we reached Tavansalaany garam in Terelj when we stayed in the GER of local horsebreeder family. Next morning we saddle up our horses and started moving towards to west up to the mountians to visit the place called Khagyn Khar lake.
Riding horse with nomads was such a fun and veiw of the surrounding was amazing with its lush green weadow, beautiful mountians and grasing yaks and horses. Here I felt my self so much free and relaxing. In the evening of third night since we started riding spend a night at shore of little stream in the foot of Suven pass with crystal clear water. We had washed in the sream water wich was really cold but refreshing. Went to sleep bit early then last 2 nights in our tents after delicious food while we seating next to camp fire. Clear blue sky with thousands of stars breezy but soft wind and sound of the trees and stream… was a heaven. In the morning when I open my tent I shocked for a moment. There was pure white snow all over… surrounding mountians , trees, grass even our tent almost inder the thick white snow. For me it was so unussual to see snow in the mid August to see a 2 different season in 2 days. I am still can feel all the sensation that I felt when we were seating close to the camp fire and having the steaming hot coffee in the middle of shiny white snow. After our light breakfast we had snow bowl fight while our Mongolian friend pack up all our tents and other luggage. Amazingly when we went up to the Suven pass and got down to the Suven river were already returned back to hot summer time so we had to take off our clothes one by one on the way.
