Welcome to Mongolia, a vast Central Asian country of endless steppe, where nomadic herding traditions remain central to daily life. The Gobi Desert stretches dramatically across the south, revealing towering sand dunes, dinosaur fossils, and rugged rock formations. Ulaanbaatar, the capital, offers a striking contrast between modern city life and the traditional ger camps just beyond its edges. Mongolia's countryside remains sparsely populated, with nomadic families still herding horses, sheep, and camels across open grassland.
