    Beautiful image and the stupa is something common across Buddhist areas, right?

      Thanks, Sreejith. Yes, absolutely. Stupas can be found in many Buddhist countries. Thailand and Laos come to mind after my trip there last winter. None are quite like this massive one!

        We could see the vastness of the desert also as backdrop here 🙂

        Hope you are having a great time in Mongolia, Peter 🙂
