Explore the
natural and cultural wonders of Mongolia, one of Earth's last remaining
wilderness frontiers.
Largely inaccessible to western travelers until recently, Mongolia offers
a rare glimpse of an ancient nomadic culture that has changed little over
the centuries.
Discover in this untouched land the rare combination of ancient Buddhist
traditions, a nomadic horse-based culture and an incredible natural beauty
- high mountains, vast grasslands, volcanic lakes and the expanses of the
harsh Gobi Desert.
The
fertile heartland of Mongolia is a realm of rolling steppe supporting herds
of horse, sheep and yak; of magnificent forests, alpine lakes and volcanoes.
It is also the political and religious heart of the country with a history
dating back to pre-Mongol civilizations.
Explore the heart of the Mongol Empire - combining religious and cultural
heritage with stunning natural beauty and the vast expanses and towering sand
dunes of the desolate Gobi Desert
