Nomadic lifestyle of Mongolia
About Mongolia
Mongolia is truly one of the world's last undiscovered travel
destinations and the safest country to visit. It is a land where you can
experience wide-open spaces, cobalt blue skies, forests, deserts,
crystal clear rivers and lakes, and the traditional hospitality of the
nomads. Permanent dwellings are few and far between, fences even fewer
and the land is owned by the people, like one large National Park.
As a tremendous destination to experience the outdoors, Mongolia also
boasts of unique history dating back to the Mongol Empire of Genghis
Khan. Simply put, it is a land of adventure, horses, nomads, and blue
sky.
About capital city Ulaanbaatar
Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, is the single hub for trips to any
destinations within Mongolia. The city hosts the only international
airport of the country and the single international rail line - the
Trans Siberian railway goes across the city from the north to the south.
Ulaanbaatar, where 1 million people out of Mongolia's 2.8 million
population, is the country's economic, cultural and political center and
has a number of tourist attractions and hosts the most varied types of
entertainment.
