Destination Mongolia

With an area of approximately 1.6 million square kilometers, Mongolia is a destination like no other. While much of this stunning landlocked country is covered by vast, untouched steppes, visitors will also experience lakes, canyons, sand dunes and cliffs. Staying in a traditional Mongolian ger is one of the best ways to truly get a feel for these wild landscapes. In the capital, Ulaanbaatar, visitors will find a buzzing city filled with excellent dining, a wide range of hotels and attractions such as the newly opened Chinggis Khaan Museum. Meanwhile, the ancient city of Karakorum – once an important Silk Road’s convergence point – is where you’ll find the gorgeous Erdene Zuu Monatary, one of Mongolia's most sacred spaces.

    The world’s first national park isn’t in the US. It’s in Mongolia
    Many American schoolchildren grow up learning that Yellowstone was the world’s first national park. But across the globe in Mongolia, just south of the capital, Ulaanbaatar, a mountain holds a claim to the crown.
