Mongolia is a country that evokes space and freedom. It is rich of magnificent landscapes but especially of its Mongolian nomads, incredibly welcoming. If Mongolia is so beautiful it is also thanks to its inhabitants. Nestled between China and Russia, in the far east of Central Asia, Mongolia, "land of the blue sky" fascinates by its vastness and wide open spaces. Three times the size of France for only 2.5 million inhabitants, more than a third of whom live in Ulaanbaatar, its capital, Mongolia is a setting of steppes and forests, remote mountains and arid plains. A plateau of altitude where one can cross antelopes, wolves, horses in freedom, yaks, camels, lakes by hundreds, isolated villages, warm yurt camps... Mongolia can be divided into three very distinct territories. The west is a mountainous region, the south is occupied by the immense Gobi desert while in the center of the country extends an area of steppes. Covering a third of the country, the Gobi desert remains the most touristic region of the country. It shelters a rather luxuriant nature with plains, mountain ranges and obviously dunes. The days spent in this desert pass with many nuances of color and a sun present practically all the year. It is the habitat of rare animal species such as the Przewalski horse, the bear or the snow leopard. To the west of Mongolia, the Altai range with peaks of more than 4,000 m and the Tavan Bogd National Park offer a variety of unique landscapes and cultures. In central Mongolia, the Arkhangaï region also presents beautiful alpine landscapes, with its forests, lakes and rivers, its green nature. An environment that contrasts with the curious Orkon valley, covered with black volcanic rocks that emerge in the middle of a green steppe. Eastern Mongolia is the least known despite its historical importance and its very diverse natural environments. The Dornod aimag region is home to various ethnic groups such as the Khalkh, Bouriates... which add to the charm of this destination. The Mongolian climate is sunny (270 days of sun per year), mountainous and particularly dry. But there is hardly anything but summer, with mild temperatures in the north of the country and very hot in the Gobi, which is pleasant for a stay in Mongolia. and even if it is also at this time that it rains most often. Autumn is icy and snowy sometimes as early as September, winter is harsh (down to - 30 °C or - 40 °C) and spring is to be avoided because of sandstorms. Mongolia is one of the last nomadic states. We discover a unique way of life of which the most important element is undoubtedly the traditional yurt or ger. More than a million people still live under a yurt. The Mongols are a fascinating people. Proud of their past, they present a real strength of character. To be nomadic, it is above all to sign for freedom in spite perhaps of comfort. Warm, the Mongols spontaneously open their yurts and gladly offer the aïrak, fermented mare's milk, to travellers. Take a flight to Mongolia is to conquer wide open spaces and very varied desert landscapes, while sharing the traditions of nomads with a hospitable people of nature. Land of wide open spaces, Mongolia is not only steppes... But also forests, lakes, valleys, mountains covered with eternal snow. You travel there for days without meeting anyone, as you meet the most generous people on the planet. There are millions of horses, yaks, sheep, goats and camels. The five "muzzles", other Mongolian gems. "It may seem surprising at first glance but spitting is a real art of living in Mongolia. We no longer count the number of sputum carried out in a day by a single individual but one thing is certain, every good Mongol must know how to spit and scrape in all situations. Art and culture in Mongolia Mongolian culture is essentially based on nature, animals, shamanic and Buddhist religions. All areas are inspired by it: singing, music, painting, sport... Traditional festivals bear witness to this rich culture. One can also be interested in objects of the nomads' daily life: felt or silk clothing (including the deel, long traditional wool coat), furniture painted under yurts, equestrian equipment (whips and saddles decorated with silver cabochons). Among Kazakhs, in the west of the country, one finds many objects of artisanal manufacture, which make beautiful memories: carpets, tapestries, embroideries...
