Nearly 800 years ago, Genghis Khan (properly pronounced Chinggis Khaan) powerfully made Mongolia the largest contiguous empire that the world has ever known. Today, a gentler Mongolia’s breathtaking wilderness and growing cities are ample reason to explore this fascinating country that embraces both its nomadic traditions and its path into modern culture. Experience the mysteries of Mongolia as you explore its capital city, Ulaanbaatar, meet local nomadic families, and stay in ger camps amid the vast beauty of the Gobi Desert.
Best of all, you'll...
  • Discover Ulaanbaatar — Mongolia's capital city — as you explore its museums, monasteries and public courtyards.
  • Admire the luminous Flaming Cliffs in the Gobi Desert, where paleontologists discovered the world's first dinosaur eggs.
  • Explore the ruins of Karakorum, Genghis Khan's 13th-century capital city.
