Mongolia – Raw Road Journey [ OG ]

2 weeks across Central to Western Mongolia… where roads don’t really exist. Just open land, sky, and direction. We travelled in old Russian military vehicles—built for anything.

No fixed plans. Just a rough route and trust in the journey. Slept under the stars or with nomads in their ger. Life felt simple, slow, and very real.

Even as an Indian, used to cultural chaos, I had a cultural shock here. Life is tough beyond the beauty—people walk 5 km just to carry 10L water. And yes… morning “toilet ceremony” with endless open views 😄

As a vegetarian, food was a challenge. Carried basic Indian ingredients, cooked when I could… survived and loved it.

Got stuck for 24 hours once due to breakdown. But this place teaches patience. People help each other without question—no religion, no divide… just human support.

Drivers here are next level—reading wind, land, and mountains to find the way. Language didn’t matter… a smile worked everywhere 🙂

Travelled with a friend—Mongolian by birth but raised in Europe. Even for her, it felt like discovering home again.

No reels, just real travel. Raw, wild, and deeply rewarding.

( More or less no matter this is archives country is still same apart of few main highway expanded but as soon you leave main roads this world is totally wild and with happy smiles.)
