Top Things To Do
Mongolia
• Stay with nomadic herdsmen in gers (tents).
• Go on an activity tour, including trekking, mountaineering, birdwatching, horse riding, rafting, camel riding, yak caravan and overland motorcycle tours. Many of these tours focus strongly on ecology and wildlife.
• Hike out to Mongolia's lakes (notably the huge Khuvsgul Nuur), the Four Holy Peaks surrounding Ulaanbaatar or the Gobi Gurvansaikhan National Park, in the South Gobi.
• Go skiing or cross-country skiing - possible around Ulaanbaatar.
• Feel spiritual at the Buddhist temple museums, and the still-functioning Gandan Monastery.
• Be revived in Khangai, a mountainous region with more than 20 hot springs renowned for their healing properties. Another therapeutic spring can be found in Khujirt, where the ruins of the world-renowned Kharakhorum, capital of the Great Mongolian Empire of the 13th century, can also be found.
