Mongolia holidays: create your own journey through the Land of the Blue Sky
Rewards
Mongolia holidays offer a lot to remember. Mongolia boasts some of the most beautiful landscapes on the planet. Anybody who enjoys the outdoors or wide, open spaces will love this place. There are steppes, mountains, deserts, forests, lakes and rivers of varying degrees of accessibility, and all of it is open to explore, paint, or photograph. Outdoor adventurers will find Mongolia a magnificent place to drive, cycle, climb, kayak, canoe, hike, or horse trek through. People can book organized tours, or go to a little more effort and make their own adventure.
Almost 50% of Mongolians still live a nomadic lifestyle. This is rapidly changing, as more people flood to the city in search of greater opportunities, but there are still fantastic opportunities to experience a traditional and exotic culture that remains largely unchanged after thousands of years. Mongolians have a remarkable culture of hospitality to visitors, you can drop in on a yurt any time to share a conversation and a cup of tea. These quaint, postcard lifestyles give way to Western progressivism and modernity in inner Ulan Bator: visitors will also have the chance to witness the rapid growth and urbanization of a country embracing Western-style capitalism and democracy after 70 years of communism. With the limited time you have, make some effort towards understanding Mongolia, rather than simply trekking through it. Spend some time talking with locals you meet on your way, it will make your Mongolia holiday hugely rewarding.
Whatever you choose to do, your memories will last for years to come. That's why most people come back again and again.
