The Last Tuvan Shaman in Mongolia

This is Galba. The last Tuvan Shaman in Mongolia, at her sacred waterfall in the remote border area in western Mongolia's Altai Mountains.

 

We were the first foreigners to enter this valley, and live alongside Galba for a week. Very sadly just a few day after this photograph Galba very unexpectedly passed away.
