Mongolia
Although Mongolia is a vast steppe, it gets a lot of snow in winter, which makes it a beautiful place for cross-country skiing. There is only one ski resort in the country, and it is in a country with a huge mountain range with clean, pristine lines.
Mongolia is a beautiful place to explore and delight nature lovers and outdoor lovers alike Known throughout the world for its endless steppes, nomadic culture and of course Genghis Khan. Of all the places in Mongolia, not to mention what interests you most, the vast Khovsgol Lake in the north is the one you want to visit the most.
Many tourists focus on going to the Yol Valley, following its rivers, and chasing its waterfalls, but be sure to ask your guide to hike from the entrance to the park, as hiking is one of the best things to do in Mongolia. If you want to hike in Mongolia, you should do so, as it is one of the best places to visit, at least in Gobi.
Speaking of the Gobi Desert, it is one of the parts of Mongolia that you should not miss if you want to go out into the countryside. One of the most desirable areas to visit when travelling in Mongolia is the National Park.
Activities include overnight stays with nomad families, hiking, horse riding on Bactrian camels, horseback riding, hiking on various trails and visiting famous landmarks such as bronze age rock paintings (one of the oldest painted by a nomad), Bayanazag (also known as Flame Cliffs), Tsagaan Suvraga (the white supa) and the Gurvan Saikhan National Park.

One of the most popular destinations in Mongolia is the Gorkhi Terelj National Park, where the alpine landscape is particularly impressive. The Park is one of the more accessible examples of the Mongolian hinterland, thanks to its proximity to Ulaanbaatar, with pine-covered mountains and valleys and carved rock formations that enrich the view. Hustai National Park is located close to the capital of Mongolia and is a fantastic place to see the famous Mongolian steppe while the beautiful Khentii Mountains enrich the diversity of the landscape.

One place you can visit during your Mongolian holiday is the Erdene Zuu monastery complex from the 16th century, located on the aforementioned Karakoram.
Not only will you find a multitude of museums, monasteries, and other interesting places to visit, but it is also a great base for the next stage of your Mongolian adventure.

The Orkhon Valley was the seat of many ancient states that founded the territory of Mongolia, and its complex was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2004. Uvur Hoshoot (Uushgiin Deer Stone Complex), also known as the Uushgiin Deer Stone, was one of the key features of our travel through the archaeological treasures of Mongolia. The entire complex of fourteen bronze and iron age stones was from Hovsgols Huvsgul Lake to Murun (Huvsguls Provincial capital).
