		Where this river emerges from deep gorges and flows in a wide curve into the plain, the ruins of a vast city had been discovered, apparently watched over by a giant stone tortoise, symbol of eternity.
		It was situated on the right bank of the river, 400 kilometres south-west of Ulaanbaatar, the present capital of Mongolia, in an area which was suitable for both crops and livestock and which possessed very old-established mining deposits, the Dalakyn-tal--an area which, indeed, had been the cradle of many Central Asian civilizations.
		The strange inscriptions found on the statues and stone stelae discovered in the city were later attributed to the "Blue Turks"; many writings from the period between the sixth and the eighth centuries described this people's glory and its tragic destiny.

		The monastery’s wooden buildings are integrated with a natural system of caves perched hear a hilltop, from which you have beautiful views of the Orhon Valley and the surrounding pine forests.
		Today the monastery is a beautiful and relaxing site to visit, with its unique combination of meditation alcoves in the limestone caves, the incomparable location, and the rock womb where many Mongolians come to purify themselves and to be ‘reborn’.
		The path of our trek is dominated by volcanic scenery, and many nomadic families have their summer camps in the valley, where grazing can be found relatively close to water for the animals.

	Glossary: William of Rubruck
		This river is the eastern boundary of Ruscia, and takes its rise in the Moeotide fens, which extend to the ocean in the north.
		Beyond them is the Etilia, the largest river I have ever seen, and it comes from the north, from Greater Bulgaria and flows south, and it falls into a certain lake which has a circumference of four months journey, and of it I shall tell you later.
		And there came a big river down from the mountains, which irrigated the whole country wherever they wanted to lead the water, and it flowed not into any sea, but was absorbed in the ground, forming many marshes.
