Winter is getting close. The yellow leaves of trees are falling nowadays, making a beautiful scene everywhere. Last year, it was colder this time. It reminds me what Mongolian friends say about last year’s harsh winter, which was the coldest in decades. So i hope this year it won’t be as cold as the last. But when i remember the freezing days of -40 C, it scares me already.
Last weekend, i went to Khachort for the second time. Though Terelj is the most famous picnicking site nearest to UB, but i like Khachort more. Its about 40 minutes drive south of UB. Buses go each hour. Two weeks ago, when i went there for the first time, it was green and a warm day. But last weekend, i realized summer has gone. The trees were all yellow, and water flowing in river was cold. This place is not known to many tourists. Therefore one can enjoy the calm atmosphere. There is a beautiful hotel called Hotel Mongolia. It looks like Khar Khoriin, fancy rooms and ‘ger’ available for rent. They have made a look of beach beside the river with some sand. What i liked most was the horse-ride this weekend. I am getting better in it now.
Though summer is gone, but still if its a sunny weekend, you can enjoy Khachort. Many tourists miss this beautiful site due to the fame of Terelj. Here i am sharing some photos from Khachortj. If you have not visited, don’t miss Khachort!
