Tsagaan Sar

Tsagaan Gar or White Month is one of Mongolia's two major holidays, the other being Naadam in the summer. Tsagaan Sar marks the end of winter and the beginning of a new year and is a social and family orientated time. My friend Echo tells me that she has made 900 buuz ready to be steamed for the holiday. The holiday lasts for a number of days but will be over by the time we arrive in Mongolia.

The weather today in Ulaanbaatar in minus 40 degrees.
