Mongolia, located in East Central Asia, is the ideal place to visit if you want to experience both rich culture and natural beauty. This little-visited nation is rich in natural beauty as well as cultural attractions. Mysterious deserts, magnificent snow-capped mountains, attractive lakes, forests, and steppes abound throughout the nation. Mongolia has a rich nomadic cultural tradition that visitors may learn about. It is the land of Chinggis Khaan and takes pride in being the first country in the world to discover dinosaur eggs.
Traveling north to south through Mongolia will take you through a variety of topographic landscapes, from mountain forest steppe and mountain steppe to semi-deserts and deserts.

Mongolia is divided into 21 provinces, known as aimag in Mongolian, and one municipality, Ulaanbaatar. A province is made up of many districts called sums. The Khalkha Mongol language is the country’s official language. This language is spoken by around 75 per cent of the people. Kazakh, Tuvinian, Urianhai, and Hoton are among the other languages spoken in the nation. The country’s population is made up of 85 per cent Mongols, 7 per cent Turks, 4.5 per cent Tungusics, and 3.5 per cent other ethnic groups.
Mongolians live mostly nomadic lifestyles. Animals have an important role in the lives of nomadic households in this nation. In recent years, a great number of regions in the country have advanced and urbanised. The steppes’ traditions, on the other hand, still prevail. The majority of Mongolians live in gers, large tents that are easy to move from one location to another. The country’s diet is seasonal and primarily consists of milk and meat.
