Tim Cope who spent three years in the Mongolian wilderness | Daily Mail Online
Published: 02:24 GMT, 20 December 2015 | Updated: 08:02 GMT, 20 December 2015
Navigating rugged mountain terrain in bitterly cold snow, sweltering through vast stretches of dessert sand, evading cunning thieves and forging a fear and respect for the wolves who hunt in the forest once darkness has fallen.
Explorer Tim Cope, from Gippsland in Victoria, spent three years on horseback retracing the ten thousand kilometre route taken by famed warrior Genghis Khan from Mongolia to Hungary across the great Eurasian Steppe.
From the ice-capped Altai Mountains to the burning heat of the Kazakh desert, Cope said he truly experienced a nomadic way of life travelling with three horses, the occasional camel and his faithful canine companion Tigon, who still lives with the 35-year-old adventurer in regional Victoria.
Tim Cope said immersing himself in the 'sheer wildness and freedom of the Eurasian steppe – a land so vast, and fenceless that not even thoughts or feelings can be hemmed in' was at the core of his journey (Pictured at around 10,000 feet in the Altai Mountains of Western Mongolia with his trusty horse, Rusty)
