The first place that you are likely to land in is the Ulaanbaatar, which is the capital of this great nation. This location has more than enough to make you have a great time. Whether you are getting to the capital on train or landing from an airplane, you will get to the heart of a hospitable community with high-class restaurants that are ready to serve you with new delicacies. The capital is also considered the best location to plan your next adventure.

You can still learn about the history of this amazing country once you have gotten there. Other than the geographical location of this great country, there is a lot more to learn like the nomads, horses, Ghengis Khan, and that Ulaanbaatar is the coldest capital city in the whole world. While you can learn these things remotely, you will get to experience these facts when you come to visit the Mongolland. You will also learn and experience the culture, language and the delicacies of the community living in the Mongolland.

During your visit to the Mongol land, you can choose to sleep in the gers and they are well constructed to provide you with the warmth and safety that you deserve all night. Gers are the houses that were used by the nomads before industrialization took over the world. Today, some of these houses are available and you can have a feel of them by spending some nights.

The Gobi desert is located so far away from the capital city. You will travel the whole day or night just to get to the desert. It is only when you get there when you will realize that the journey was worth it after all. You will ride on camels and breathe the cool atmosphere exuded by the natural features in the land. The dunes and flaming cliffs of Bayazang are some of the attractive features that you will see.

Get to sleep in a monastery. Though most of Mongolians claim to be atheists, Buddhism is the main religion in this place. If you are keen, you will see monks strolling around Ulaanbaatar and many other parts of the city. Therefore, the monasteries in this location can feel great to visit. You don't have to just visit such places for just a day, you can choose to spend a night or two and even witness the ruins of the monastery and sleep in their dormitory.

If you have no problem riding on horseback, then you should give it a try. The people here are known to be great horse riders, and they will help you out. These are the activities that you make you enjoy your stay in the Mongol land.

Encounter a festival. If you love the Mongolian culture, then you can choose to attend some of their festivals. One of the biggest and best known Mongolian festivals is the Naadam.
