Abstract
Camels are still the most convenient means of transportation among Torghut herders in Bayangol. They are most useful during winter months in icy or snowy conditions and are preferred to vehicles. Herders in the past invariably chose camels and horses to transport supplies from town to their winter farms. The place that appears in the video is called the Gate of the Seventy Hills (Dalan Davani Am). This is where the local government winter supplementary supplies such as hays and maize are dropped off for herders to transport to their winter farms.
