Mongolia Travel Guide - Top Things To Do

 

 


• 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.
