By Michelle Hughes


One of the hardest things is planning an adventure before going to a new place. This is because you are not certain about the things available for you in the foreign land to enjoy. Here are some of the things that you are most likely to enjoy when you travel to Mongolia. At the end of the reading, you will be in a position to come up with a plan that works.

You will visit Ulaanbaatar, the capital city of Mongolia. Whether you are flying or driving to the place, there are a lot of things that you will enjoy. You will enjoy the parks, museums, and many other interesting places. This can also be a good stage to plan your next destination for even better adventure. If you are spending the night, there are several reputable hotels for you to select.

Learning the history of this country is one of the things that you can do to pass time. The geographical location and topography of the land are appealing to the eye, but you also need to get a lesson regarding the history of the dwellers. The origin of the nomads and their camels, and what they do to ensure that they protect their cultural beliefs despite the alienation that has washed off many communities from their beliefs, are some of the things that you will learn.

Gers are really cool traditional buildings that the Mongolians used to live in before the modern houses took over. If you are looking for more fun, you need to try something new. Though made of simple tools, the gers are really comfortable and warm inside. To grasp enough feel of the Mongol Land, you should consider spending a night in one of them. There are still a lot of them in the outskirts of Ulaanbaatar.

Maybe you have enjoyed riding on the back of a camel before, but not in the Mongol land. To add to your phenomenal experience, you can have the people in charge of the parks help you get on the back of a camel and ride for fun. Though the Gobi Desert is located far from the city, you will realize that the ride is worth it once you get there.

Get to sleep in a monastery. Though most of Mongolians claim to be atheists, Buddhism is the main religion in this place. If you are keen, you will see monks strolling around Ulaanbaatar and many other parts of the city. Therefore, the monasteries in this location can feel great to visit. You don't have to just visit such places for just a day, you can choose to spend a night or two and even witness the ruins of the monastery and sleep in their dormitory.

You have the option to go horseback riding while visiting the Mongol land. The Mongolians are commonly known for their horses and riding them across the vast, unoccupied Mongolian countryside. If you want to try something new, then this can be a really good treat.

There are festivals that are unique to the people dominating this land. If you want to witness their cultural beliefs, then you can attend Naadam, which is held once a year. You will also get to taste some of their delicacies.
