Outer Mongolia is one of the few places on earth where travelers can still explore with a true sense of adventure. Vast tracts of this ‘land of blue sky’ can be discovered on the back of horse or camel – in true Genghis Khan-style – or in the comfort of four-wheel drive. Riding, climbing, fishing, biking and rafting are all covered, as well as how to make the most out of your stay and enjoy nomadic ger hospitality.
Open to the Western world only since 1990, Outer Mongolia is one of the few places on earth where travelers can still explore with a true sense of adventure.
