Hot-air balloons set off
from Khustai Nuruu of Tuv province on Friday. The scheduled destination of
Sukhbaatar Square had to be changed because air-space laws do not permit such
flights near the square. Adventurers from England, France, Germany and Switzerland
are taking part in the sport.

They landed in Uvurkhangai
province’s Elsen Tasarkhai on Saturday, and at Tsenkher hot springs of
Arkhangai province on Sunday. The balloonists plan to reach Erdenezuu monastery
of Umnugobi province on Wednesday, carrying on to Khongorin Els on Friday and finishhing
