When someone mentions “unique experiences,” you don’t immediately think of Mongolia, do you? Well, we’re here to tell you this may be a mistake, as there are plenty of things that can only be experienced in the homeland of Genghis Khan!
Nomadic lifestyle
Part of Mongolia’s population still lives out in the steppe, just like their ancestors. There is no better way to experience the lives of the great Khans in the past than sitting where they sat, riding horses where they used to ride and feeling the fresh flatland breeze on your face. Easily one of the best experiences in my life – and I’ve been to Bali!
Gobi desert
The Gobi desert is a unique sight located 3,000 feet above sea level, but as its geographic position holds to the north, it’s also very cold. Make sure to dress warmly if you want to go desert hunting, and you can sleep in the base of any dune you want!
Unique history
Mongolia can pride itself on being the country that once held the largest piece of territory ever seen on the planet under the great Khans, so there are plenty of historical landmarks and monuments, including religious sites. We suggest you visit the Chinggis Khan statue, the Zaisan Memorial, and although it may come as a surprise to many, the square dedicated to the Beatles!
