FROM THE TRAVEL GUIDE · Mongolia
Mongolia (Mongolian: Монгол улс, Traditional Mongolian: ) has wide open spaces for experiencing the outdoors for those who want adventure. Its vast and majestic emptiness is the country's enduring appeal: it brings the traveller into a close communion with nature and its nomadic inhabitants. It is one of the last places on earth where nomadic life lives on.
