Mongolia is a vast landlocked country in Central/East Asia between Russia (north) and China (south), known for nomadic culture, endless steppes, Gobi Desert, and Genghis Khan heritage. World's least densely populated country (2 people/km² vs Netherlands 500/km²), Mongolia is 1.56 million km² with only 3.4 million people - half live in capital Ulaanbaatar. Former Mongol Empire (1206-1368) under Genghis Khan conquered largest contiguous land empire in history (stretching from Korea to Hungary). Modern Mongolia gained independence from China in 1911, became communist satellite of Soviet Union (1924-1992), transitioned to democracy in 1990. Ulaanbaatar, the capital and coldest capital city in world (average -1.3°C annually, -40°C winter common), contains half the population but rest of country remains nomadic herding lifestyle unchanged for centuries. Visitors are drawn to nomadic culture and ger/yurt stays with herding families, horseback riding across steppes, Gobi Desert sand dunes (Khongoryn Els singing dunes), Naadam Festival (July, wrestling/archery/horse racing), Genghis Khan Statue Complex (40m tall, 1 hour from Ulaanbaatar), Terelj National Park hiking, Erdene Zuu Monastery (oldest Buddhist monastery), Eagle hunting in western Mongolia, throat singing performances, and Trans-Siberian Railway journey. Mongolia offers authentic nomadic experience, extreme wilderness, and rich cultural heritage in one of world's most remote destinations.

Important Travel Information

Registration requirement CRITICAL: ALL visitors (including visa-free) must register with Mongolian Immigration Agency within 7 days of arrival IF staying more than 7 days.

World's coldest capital: Ulaanbaatar averages -1.3°C annually, coldest national capital. Winter (November-March) regularly -25°C to -40°C. Summer (June-August) pleasant 15-25°C.

Winter tourism exists but requires serious cold weather gear and many tourist ger camps closed.

Least densely populated country: Mongolia has 2 people per km² - world's lowest density (compare Singapore 8,000/km²). Vast empty landscapes. Half population (1.6 million) lives in Ulaanbaatar. Countryside extremely remote. Can drive hours seeing only nomadic gers and livestock. No towns between destinations. Requires good planning, supplies, and preferably guide/tour for countryside travel. Easy to get lost.
