For me it was an adventure to go by train from Ulaanbaatar to Irkutsk then on up to Olkhon Island, the spiritual home of an ethnic tribe very similar to Mongolian nomads - the Buryat. This island had special spiritual meaning. #Adventure](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3000423222/ac8bdf07-89da-4cec-9506-86b475d8739f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)
