...MONGOLIA - and the people who live here - is a land of constant surprises. Snow-capped peaks soar from grassy, flower-covered steppe and sandy dunes; bare hills, badlands and gorges rise from flat desert floors; and in constant refrain, wide valleys sprawls out into enormous vistas. Waterfalls, lakes, rivers and oasis refresh the eye; dense forests and marshy swaps enclose you; and the classic steppe goes on forever. Animals, both wild and domestic, abound, and there is drama too from Mongolia's extremes of climate, especially the blinding dust storms, blizzards and flash floods of spring.
Quite simply, Mongolia is Nature on a massive scale.
