The Unique Stay in a Mongolian Ger
One thing that makes Mongolians unique is the ubiquitous tents we know as ger. Tourists love staying in these homes with a real Mongolian family and doing the things they do. It’s the best way to get closer to the astonishing culture of Mongolia.
The Festivals
Every tourist visiting the country is enthralled by the Mongolian culture and wants to witness as much of it as they can. The best way to do that is by attending one of the several festivals in Mongolia.
The main and most important one is Naadam that happens every year from July 10 to July 12. It’s like the Olympic games but concentrated on Mongolian sports. You should also know that Naadam is not the only one, as there are plenty of others you’ll want to see, like the White Moon festival or Tsagaan Sar.

The Capital Ulaanbaatar
With a population of over 1.3 million people, the capital of Mongolia houses almost half of all the country's population. It's no surprise that an overwhelming majority of things a tourist needs to see in Mongolia can be found in Ulaanbaatar. The museums, monasteries, and a lot of other stunning and unique things you can see in the city makes it one of the top things tourists love about the country.
The Long and Fascinating History
It's virtually impossible to visit any country in the world and not want to learn about its history. In it lies a big chunk of what will help you learn about that nation.
Naturally, the same thing goes with Mongolia, if not even more so. The Mongolian steps have been populated since ancient times, and the development of the people who lived and still live here is more than merely impressive. Plus, who doesn't want to visit and learn the place of origin of the biggest empire the world has ever seen? If you're going to learn about history, you should definitely visit the National Museum of Mongolia in the downtown area of the capital.
The Mongolian Nature
It's hard to give justice through words to everything the natural world has to offer in Mongolia. However, it's worth noting that nature and the landscapes are awe-inspiring to those who are seeing it for themselves. That’s why we advise you to visit as much of the country as you can when you visit Mongolia. You won't regret it!
