Mongolia highlights is a catch all term for the far-off and intriguing. This enormous landlocked country is surrounded by bleak deserts, craggy peaks, and limitless steppe. This results in a visual feast of breathtaking scenery mixed with the robust nomadic culture.
This thorough tour provides a wonderful introduction to the nation and demonstrates the astounding diversity that can be found there. Starting in Ulaan Baatar, we go to the majestic Amarbayasgalant monastery, which is a testament to the steadfast Buddhist traditions that Communism was unable to totally eradicate.
From here, we take a stroll around Uran Togoo’s extinct volcano’s crater. Then we proceed north to one of Mongolia’s most stunning regions, the majestic Lake Khovsgol, where we have many options to explore.
We also stop at the monasteries of Ongi and Erdene Zuu before leaving the northern part of the nation. The ruins of Genghis Khan’s former capital, Karakorum, are also visible here.
As we enter Asia’s largest desert, the Gobi, in the south, the landscape dramatically changes. The “flaming cliffs” of Bayanzag and the canyon of Yolyn Am, which serve as a reminder of the immense variety of desert landscapes, are two of its most impressive vistas. We also take the time to search for the uncommon and distinctive animals of the Gobi.
Nobody who visits is unimpressed.
