Gengis Khan and his hordes meets warm hospitality and a thriving urban heart

Canh yy, welcome to Mongolia, a landlocked chunk of Asia bordered by Russia and China and probably most famous for the raping and pillaging rep of 13th-Century ruler Genghis Kaan. Ulaanbaatar displays the history of this ancient, powerful nation in its national museum, and 18th-Century Gandantegchinlen Monastery is also worth a visit for history lovers or culture vultures. Traditionally, Mongolian peoples are nomadic, wandering the rugged hills and steppes of the country. You’re bound to receive a warm welcome in Mongolia, but travel can be slow, and facilities basic, so remember to bring your sense of adventure! If you want to see ancient traditions meeting rapidly increasing modernity head on, with a sprinkle of horseback riding and a trip to the Gobi Desert for good measure, then VISIT MONGOLIA!
