The best time to visit Mongolia is during the Mongolian summer, from the mid of June till last week of August. This is the safest time of the year to travel to Mongolia in terms of weather, sunny days throughout Mongolia and sufficient rainfall to make the steppes lush and green. June and September are both very pleasant times to visit Mongolia. September, autumn is enjoyable, colorful, not hot, and not cold. Nomads have plenty of dairy products and are busy processing milk and preparing for winter. Beautiful countryside of Mongolia is even more beautiful and picturesque with the autumn colors. #wintergetaway

Gers have been a distinctive feature of life in Central Asia for at least three thousand years. A Ger is our traditional round shaped dwelling that has been used since the Mongols started nomadic life with animal husbandry. In essence – it’s their home. Ger is portable, easily assembled and disassembled, and the most natural dwelling on earth. A ger consists of felt covers, wooden columns, and a round window at the top, thin wooden poles and floor, wall (wooden lattice attached together with animal hide, ropes) and ropes. Most of ger materials are made of animals like felt- sheep wool, ropes- camel or sheep wool, horse or yak’s tail, and of course wood. You can visit the ger camp in Mongolia it calls billion stars hotel 😊 #triplocal #awesomepic #triplocal

In Mongolia, only one country that no local transmission cases of Covid 19. Very peaceful, beautiful, land of blue sky with hospitality people. Mongolia, a nation bordered by China and Russia, is known for vast, rugged expanses and nomadic culture. Its capital, Ulaanbaatar, centers around Chinggis Khaan (Genghis Khan) Square, named for the notorious founder of the 13th- and 14th-century Mongol Empire. #triplocal

Mongolian grand canyon 😊 The rocky formations of Tsagaan Suvarga, "White stupa", are located in the Southeast of the sum Ölziit, on the Southern border of the province of Dundgovi. These rocky formations eroded by the wind look like a ruined city if you observe them from a certain distance (85 kilometres, 52,82 miles). They are about 60 metres (196,85 feet) high and 400 metres (1312,34 feet) long. #triplocal #awesomepic #triplocal

Khongoryn Els are some of the largest and most spectacular sand dunes in Mongolia.

A yurt in mongolia. I stayed here for two nights living with the locals. This was my most memorabel trip from 2019. So different to any other travel I done.

The worlds largest sculpture of Genghis Khan is 40 meters high! Location: Located in the central province of Erdene Sumu 30km east of Ulaanbaatar Generation Tianjiao, Genghis Khan, only knows the bow and shoots the big eagle. Going all the way, the number of romantic figures, still look at the present. The leader of our country once spoke highly of Genghis Khan, and the statue of Genghis Khan was a statue built to commemorate Genghis Khan. Mongolia is very respectful of Genghis Khan, and even no one nodded before Xis statue to Genghis Khan. Watch: The Genghis Khan Equestrian Statue is the largest single metal sculpture in the world. The statue is 131 feet (40 meters) and is cast from 250 tons of pure steel. The entire Genghis Khan statue is supported by 36 columns, marking the 36 tribes of the Mongols. The statue was cast from 250 tons of steel, and the gates of the group were lined with statues of nine generals under Genghis Khans account. At the observation deck where Genghis Khans horses neck is located, he can indulge in the beauty around the statues. Inside the 40-meter-high statue of Genghis Khan, it houses a restaurant, a smaller art gallery, a conference room, a larger lounge and an observation deck. Inside the museum, visitors can admire the art treasures and objects carefully selected by Mongolian artists. In the restaurant, visitors can enjoy European cuisine and Mongolian care. Want to learn more about Genghis Khan, this is the best place to go.

Driving Through the Mongolian Soul: A Journey Through the Mountains

The wind whispered through the valleys, carrying the scent of pine and wildflowers as we rode through the heart of the Mongolian mountains. We were on a quest, not just to explore the rugged landscapes, but to delve into the soul of this ancient land. We encountered nomadic families, their yurts nestled amongst the rolling hills, their faces etched with the wisdom of generations. They shared their stories, their traditions, and their love for this land. We drode through ancient forests, where the sun filtered through the canopy, creating a dappled light that danced on the forest floor. We crossed rushing rivers, the water sparkling like a thousand diamonds. And we climbed steep ascents, the wind whipping through our hair as we reached breathtaking vistas. At night, we camped under a sky ablaze with stars, the silence broken only by the crackling of the campfire. We shared stories, laughter, and the warmth of camaraderie, forging bonds that would last a lifetime. This journey through the Mongolian mountains was more than just an adventure; it was a pilgrimage. It was a chance to connect with the land, its people, and the spirit of Mongolia. It was a journey that touched my soul, leaving me with memories that will forever be etched in my heart. ❤️

4 places to visit in Mongolia!

Mongolia is full of incredible places that offer a taste of its wild landscapes and culture. One must-see spot is the **Khongoryn Els**, or the Singing Sand Dunes, in the Gobi Desert. These towering dunes can reach up to 300 meters high, and when the wind blows just right, they produce a haunting, musical sound. It's a really unique experience! Next, check out **Terelj National Park**, a beautiful area close to Ulaanbaatar. It's great for outdoor activities like hiking and horseback riding, or just chilling out in a traditional ger camp. Don’t miss Turtle Rock and the Aryabal Meditation Temple for some awesome views and peaceful vibes. The **Flaming Cliffs** are another cool spot, also in the Gobi Desert. These cliffs get their name from the way they glow red and orange, especially at sunset. Plus, it's a famous place for dinosaur fossils, so it's a bit like stepping back in time. Finally, head to **Yolyn Am Ice Valley** in the Gurvan Saikhan Mountains. This gorge is known for its ice that sticks around even in summer. It's a great place to cool off and maybe spot some unique wildlife. #mongolia #adventure #localguides
