Travel destinations Mongolia is not a conventional holiday destination. Beautiful and be¬wildering (even frustrating at times), it accommodates vast stretches of un¬spoiled landscape, and an ancient no-madic culture, as well as growing in¬dustrial enterprises and a metropolis of over 1 million people. From the open steppe, to the Gobi Desert, to the increasingly cosmopolitan capital city, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia offers much to see and experience. This guidebook provides details about Mongolia's best travel routes and attractions, including mountains, rivers, lakes, Buddhist temples, and historic places, as well as towns and cities. These are classified in 6 main categories according to geographical location: Ulaanbaatar; Near the capital city; Southern Mongolia-the Gobi Desert region; Western Mongolian and the High Altai Mountains central and Northern destinations; and the great eastern plains. Information about the most suitable means of transportation from Ulaanbaatar to these destinations, possible activities, and convenient accommodations are included before the description of each destination or attraction. Whether you are starting your first journey to Mongolia or are preparing to return for another visit, this book can ensure that you are appropriately prepared for your trip or simply advance your knowledge of this enchanting country.
