Summary: Khinchan
is a small, but not tiny, village, unexpectedly high on the number of tourists
who breeze through here, thanks to the thousands of Siberian cranes that fly
here every year in the winter. As soon as we reached we went straight to one of
the four lakes where these ‘khurja’ hang out in the day. I don’t know what it
is about thousands of stinky noisy birds in one spot that is so mesmerising,
but despite the blazing heat and the fact that we were getting hungry, we stood
around for quite a while, watching the birds and photographing them. These
cranes apparently do a courtship dance that we were hoping to see, but it looks
like they’re all paired off and happy so all they did was hop around and
sunbathe and generally create a racket.
