There was a time when Mongolia was so strong that it could rule the world.
High on the plateaus that sweep out from the glacial Altai Mountains, the substantial Mongolian Steppe was all ruled by the Great Genghis Khan.
However, this massive and visionary Turkic empire coming from the east was not meant to be.
There was a time when Nomads roamed the hills freely. Eagle hunters guarded the plains; Leopards walked around the mountain.
In the present times, Mongolia has once again risen and meets the new trends of the world. Let’s discover and explore one of the best places to visit in Mongolia:
Ulaanbaatar
Ulaanbaatar is home to almost half of the population in Mongolia. The extravagant city of Ulaanbaatar is the Capital of Mongolia. It is the best portrayal of Mongolia’s culture, administration, and commercial values. Situated in the charmingly named Valley of the Golden Cradle, the city is a mix of nomadic and urban lifestyles.
Ulaanbaatar is genuinely blessed with beautiful museums and galleries. You may spend good quality time traveling and searching its comprehensive collections and artifacts when you travel here.
One of the most famous and charming places is the Bogd Khan Winter Palace and Mongolia National Modern Art Gallery, a lovely sight.
Genghis Khan Statue Complex
The famous Genghis Khan is the hero of the Mongolian nation. The Gigantic Genghis Khan Statue Complex is merely magnificent.
Genghis Khan, on top of his horse, gleams as he domineeringly looks out and protects all the Steppe and mountains surrounding the complex.
It towers to an incredible height of 40 meters. The Mongolians built the Statue to honor the great Mongol empire on its 800th anniversary in 2008.
Karakorum & Erdene Zuu Monastery
Once the Mongol Empire’s capital, Karakorum is a fascinating place that is certainly worth a visit if you’re interested in learning more about the history and culture of the Mongols. Known to locals as Har Horin, the ancient city was visited by Marco Polo back in the 13th century.
However, the once-great city is but ruins, with endless sky and Steppe in every direction.
Karakorum & Erdene Zuu Monastery, which was once the Mongol Empire’s capital, is a very enchanting place that is most definitely worth visiting if you are keen to learn about the unique history and exciting culture of the Mongols.
The locals usually call it Har Horin, this ancient and legendary city was once paid a visit by Marco Polo back in the 13th century.
Now this once striking city is all ruins with endless sky and Steppe in all kinds of directions. It also has some archeological ruins that are worth wandering around.
Gobi Desert
Suppose you think you are brave and can tolerate the predominantly harsh and unpleasant weather conditions of the never ending Gobi Desert. In that case, this is the most exciting and exhilarating to explore. Roaming around the Gobi Desert with its endless dunes and rocks is indeed considered an adventure of a lifetime.
The majestic Gobi desert’s main attractions and its appealing landscapes are the striking singing dunes of Khongor and the extravagant scenery of Yolyn Am and Dungeneegyn.
Hustai National Park
Just a short distance away from Ulaanbaatar’s significant capital, Hustai National Park, is a fascinating place to head to in your tourism in Mongolia. If you wish to pay a visit to the popular Mongolian Steppe, this place is the right pick. The stunning khentii Mountains adds up to the appealing scenery.
Crossing small herds of wild horses, making their way to the Steppe, causes immense delight. You will feel slightly relieved when you pay a visit here and visit its silent beauty.
