Tourist Attractions in Mongolia

Mongolia gives tourists the opportunity to explore its cultural and natural riches. Ancient history, unique landscape and traditions will make even a short journey memorable. The country offers its guests several variants of recreation: ecological, active, cultural.
Nature is one of the main treasures of the country. 22 national parks will allow you to see the diversity of landscapes and fauna. Vegetation varies from larch taiga to desert, many inhabitants of which are listed in the Red Book. Where there is rich and diverse nature, there is also active recreation – tours on foot, on horseback, auto-tourism. Hunting and fishing are popular leisure activities that have long been mastered by foreign guests of the country. Not so long ago it became possible to visit the first, so far the only, modern ski resort, which opened not far from the capital.

The culture of Mongolia is centuries-old and is represented both by archaeological monuments – rock painting and ruins of ancient settlements, and medieval Buddhist monasteries and palaces. Modern attractions are museums, theatres, parks and shopping centres of the country’s capital. Many holidays and festivals are held in the city, some of them with a bright national flavour. The climate of Mongolia cannot be called harsh, but frost in winter and heat in summer are a must. The best time to travel is late August or early September, although the whole summer provides quite comfortable conditions for getting acquainted with the country.
