Sandy desert July 15-17

Waked up 6 am by Mongols visitors coming from nowhere on theirs motorbikes .
We follow Deep sand roads , and stop over by a river for a general cleaning and bit of rest.here is really sand riding learning!the Ktm does it very well, even if in deep soft tracks , it is definitely exhausting.
Beautiful desert landscape, mixing rocks and sands.
Nothing about this area in the travel literature I read before coming, absolutely fantastic area.
Camp by a high hill , really windy- fantastic view
On 16 th , another day with deep sand roads, we reach a large river with on the the other side a huge line of high sand dunes - probably up to 300 m high - absolutely beautiful , and nothing again on the maps on in the books or Internet about that .
After repairing the gear selector of Alvaro's bike at the yurt of a cool Mongo family
We camp by the river with a fantastic background.
Probably the best place so far
On 17th we get out the sandy area , cross a relatively large village for supply , and climb up to 3000m to cross a pass
Puncture again of one tire , and stop over in a nice alpine valley , 2500 m, cold night
With visitors coming 10 in a small Hyundai thru the land ...
