To go with 'MONGOLIA-GENDER-HERDERS-CULTURE, SPECIAL REPORT' by Oliver Hotham and Khaliun Bayartsogt
This photo taken on July 5, 2024 shows Luvsanbaldan Batsukh riding his horse before herding his sheep and goats in Khishig-Undur in Bulgan province. Batsukh, 25, tried working two years as a construction worker in the city but it wasn't to his liking. Now, he cuts a dashing figure riding his horse down rolling hills, living alongside his brother and his family in a small cluster of remote gers.
