Facts

About Mongolia

Still known as the land of Genghis Khan, Mongolia remains a symbol of untamed, unspoiled life. Dominated by the tremendous Gobi Desert, the country has a comparatively small population when you consider its geographical size. Here, the traveler would be able to see into the past.

Once you step foot outside of the city of Ulaanbaatar, you truly enter the wilderness where nomadic peoples still thrive and herds of wild horses race across the vastness of the steppes and the camel trains meander through the while arid landscape to parts unknown.
