Quick Facts About Mongolia
Discover Mongolia
Mongolia is a land of grassland steppes. Herding families still live in gers, or yurts, and move with their animals. Winters are bitterly cold, and summer brings wildflowers on the plains. The Gobi Desert is known for dinosaur fossils, the Khangai Mountains have lakes, and Ulaanbaatar is the capital.
Horses are central to life, and children learn to ride very young. Naadam is a festival of wrestling, horse racing, and archery. In the west, hunters use golden eagles. Guests are cared for warmly, and the night sky is very clear.
