Geography

Five regions, one country

Mongolia is not a single landscape. From the gravel plains of the Gobi to the glaciated peaks of the Altai, from the taiga forests of Khuvsgul to the granite valleys of Terelj — every region carries its own weather, its own people, its own pace. Choose where your journey runs.
