Mongolia

Mongolia is defined by space — an almost unbroken sweep of steppe, desert, and mountain range stretching across Central Asia, with a sky so dominant that locals have long called it the Land of Eternal Blue Heaven. Nomadic herding still shapes the rhythm of daily life, and the smell of woodsmoke from a ger stove and the sound of horses on open ground remain common reference points across the country.

About Mongolia

Overview

Landlocked between Russia to the north and China to the south, Mongolia covers a vast interior plateau ranging from the Gobi Desert in the south to the Altai mountain chain in the west and taiga forest near the Russian border. The capital, Ulaanbaatar, holds nearly half the national population. Mongolian is the official language, the tögrög the currency, and the cultural identity is rooted in nomadic Turkic-Mongolian traditions and Tibetan Buddhism.
