Сант is pronounced as Sant.
We stayed here on our way to the Darkhad (3rd July) as well as on the return trip back (24th July).
The Orkhon was in flood on the return as a low pressure system had pushed down from Siberia and caused the waterways to flood quit a lot. Our original campground was completely underwater so we stayed on the high bank on the opposite side that night.
We had finished all of our alcohol on the last night so sharing that bottle of wine I brought in Мөрөн that day around camp made for some fun and excitement.
Storms were on the horizon that night with lightning flashing over the hills but that is as close to us as it got, the sky was mostly clear in the morning of our last driving day to Ulaanbaatar.
