The immense land of Genghis Khan, Mongolia is a vast landlocked country known as the “Land of Blue Skies”. With the smallest population density of any sovereign country- Mongolia lures travellers seeking to explore its magnificent emptiness and come into contact with its traditionally nomadic residents. With utterly diverse landscapes, from the barren rolling sands of the Gobi Desert, to the blue alpine lakes of Khövsgöl Nuur, to the icy peaks of the Bayan-Ölgi Mountains to the wild Takhi horses of Hustai National Park, this far-flung country has much to offer. With its celebrated history, warm hospitality and unspoiled countryside, a Mongolia package tour is abounding with authentic experiences that will connect travellers directly the locals of this little visited destination.
Ulaanbaatar, the country’s metropolitan capital and the starting point for most travellers, is a whirlwind of industrial development sprinkled with monasteries, museums and trendy cafes representing a distinct contrast to the rest of the pristine country. If it is the remote Mongolia you seek, travel to the extreme topography of the Darhad Valley and visit some of the most self sufficient nomad communities in the world. Mongolia is also home to the Naadam festival, with its fierce competitions of traditional sports of archery, wrestling and horseracing offering an experience to travellers that will never be forgotten. Exhilarating yet utterly charming, visit Mongolia and discover the sprawling regions of this uncharted corner of the earth.
