Mongolia is a country of nearly 3 million people that straddles East-central Asia, below Russia and above China. It ranks the nineteenth largest country on the planet in terms of area, yet its small population means that it contains unparalleled unspoiled vistas and travel opportunities. The fascinating Mongolian culture includes influences from both of its super power neighbours, but retains a uniqueness all of its very own. The capital of Ulan Bator is well developed and replete with modern amenities – those traveling to Mongolia can enjoy an espresso and a shiatsu massage at a 5 star hotel, drink a beer in a trendy student bar, or choose to eat street dumplings with the locals. Truly something for every type of traveler!

Despite the presence of such a modern capital city, the country has not forgotten its ties to the past.

30% of the people here are nomads, their daily lives a living example of the fascinating heritage and rich culture of the land.
