Mongolia is the 'land of the nomads' and is situated in Central Asia, bordered by China and Russia. Over the centuries almost 50% of the inhabitants have clung to ancient lifestyles and traditions, living in gers (tent-like homes) and breeding Bactrian camels and horses. This vast stretch of land is mostly 'wild' and unspoilt, famed for its Gobi Desert, rural people and Genghis Khan. The landscape is a geographic wonderland of gem encrusted rock and prehistoric fossils. It boasts the world's longest fault line - Bulgan Fault - which can be tracked for almost 400km's. Tour operators offer visits to traditional nomadic families, horse and camel tours, fishing, hiking, trekking, hunting safaris and car and jeep tours.
