One of the world’s least–populated countries, a visit to this land represents a wonderful opportunity to spend time in the wilderness of Mongolia. A unique destination, Mongolia’s capital Ulaanbaatar is reached by air from Beijing, and is best visited from May to September. Travelling through the East Gobi will be a back-track to the once homeland of nomadic warrior, Genghis Khan – considered the father of Mongolia – and this journey traverses the wild grasslands, forests and meadows where the great khan was born and raised. The country, spanning across Central Asia and East Asia, remains relatively untouched with rural families not just surviving but thriving in one of the world’s most barren landscapes. Whether you want to take in some culture or see what Mother Nature has to offer, or live a day in the life’s of a typical Mongolia – all you need to do is speak to our travel assistants at Travel Center and they will ensure that your ‘bucket list’ is ticked. Ulaanbaatar the capital is a fascinating city that combines old and new beautifully. Visitors will find a vibrant city brimming with modern buildings, shopping, art, a thriving nightlife scene and restaurants; a contemporary contrast to the timelessness of the country’s vast scenery outside it.
