Cities Visited:
Gobi Desert, Ulaan Baatar, Gorkhi-Terelj, Beijing,

Wild horses galloping across the steppes, Genghis Khan, caravans of camels trekking the Gobi Desert—the name “Mongolia” has always stirred visions of the untamed. Even today, you feel like you have stepped into another century rather than another country. You’ll stay in a ger (felt tent), watch horse racing at a local festival, and search for dinosaur bones in the Gobi Desert. It is invigorating and exhilarating place to visit, and remains one of the last unspoiled travel destinations in Asia.
