Mongolia

From tall waterfalls, glacial boulders, rich changing forests to rolling steppes and the desolation of the Gobi desert, Mongolia is an adventure of sights. Marvel at the rugged mountain ranges, enjoy the sense of expansiveness of the colorful grasslands where there are few blacktop roads, no fences, small-scattered villages and herds of horses running free. Mongols call their country the “land of blue sky” because the sun shines an unprecedented 250 days a year. It is a free and wild land.

Many Mongolian live in large round felt and canvas tents called Gers, which we know as Yurts. As nomadic herdsman, they use horses and camels to travel with their herds of sheep, goats, and cattle in the high mountain plateaus. Mongolia has been left behind by the modern world; it is beautiful and exotic with a culture little changed by time.
