Stepping foot within Mongolia is entering a new world: there are no fences, nomadic people live in gers and 60 million animals roam free (although they know the unique call of their respective owners and usually respond accordingly). Landscapes are vast and untouched and the opportunities for unique adventure abound. Although the new democratic nation (formerly under Soviet rule) is eager to be part of the global community, it retains an old world charm like few other places on earth. The travel rewards I yielded were rich and deeply satisfying. I hope you get to experience the same level of intrigue as did I. Here's also hoping this brief overview of Mongolia has given you the impetus to start planning a trip.
