Erdenemandal
District in Arkhangai Province, Mongolia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Erdenenmandal (Mongolian: Эрдэнэмандал [írt(ɘ)nmántəɬ]) is a small town and district in Arkhangai Province, Mongolia.
There is a small central post office and a small market area. Basic supplies can be purchased at the market area. Diesel and gasoline are available but not on a regular basis. The area may go days or longer without fuel for vehicles.[citation needed]
During the harsh Mongolian winters nomads from many miles away may relocate to the outskirts of Erdenemandal, setting up their gers (or yurts) in a manner to protect themselves from wind and snow.[citation needed]
