Mongolia - Middle Gobi - The dirt track we took to the Flaming Cliffs and a little lost lamb

10 Jun 2018 - We drove on the main highway connecting Ulaanbaator to Dalanzadgad in the south. At Khuld (just after Mandalgovi city), we left the highway and turned right to take the dirt road via Delgerkhangai to the Flaming Cliffs, near Mandal Ovoo  



The dirt track, of course with no road signs, is well defined/used. 
The track to Delgerkhangai runs parallel with the electric poles, guided us .
The terrain were mostly flat and bare with the occasional ger. 

Just before the village of Delgerkhangai, we turned south and drove through the hills. As the daylight is  fading fast, we needed to stop for the night. 

At about 9.30pm, our driving lights caught a lone lamb in the middle of the track. We stopped and picked it up, its so light and fragile, its fur so soft, we just hope we could find a flock of sheep along the way to reunite this poor lost lamb.

After a short drive, we noticed the silhouette of a flock of sheep on the hills to our left.
