Travel to Mongolia

Mighty powers have ruled the vast expanses of Mongolia, from the homegrown empire of Genghis Khan, to the Chinese and in the 20th century, the Soviets. Yet none have subjugated its wilderness or the nomadic spirit of the earthbound people who still roam the steppes, deserts, forests and mountain ranges in concert with the seasons.

Travel in Mongolia is an encounter with a land resistant to the passing whim of human forces. Temperatures here swing from 40 below zero in winter to 100 degrees in summer. Rainfall, on the other hand, is scarce, and life clings to the rivers and oases that sustain herds and herders alike.

Mongolia's nomadic traditions remain vibrant today. Experience the legendary hospitality of ger camps, witness eagle hunting with Kazakh nomads, and explore landscapes that have changed little since the time of the great Khans.
