Eastern Mongolia

Gorkhi-Terelj National Park is one of the national parks of Mongolia near the capital city Ulaanbaatar. It is connected with Ulaanbaatar by a paved road, takes about 2 hours to get there from Ulaanbaatar. The road ends in Terelj settlement, which features small shops, restaurants and local families. It takes about 60kms from Ulaanbaatar.

Northern Mongolia

Try to imagine a 2760 sq km (1080 sq mi) alpine lake, with water so pure you can drink it. Then add dozens of 2000m (6560ft) mountains, thick pine forests and lush meadows with grazing yaks and horses, and you have a vague impression of Khuvsgul Nuur, Mongolia's top scenic heartstopper. This is the deepest lake in Central Asia, and the world's 14th largest source of fresh water.

Southern Mongolia

Stretching from the southern Khovd aimag to the Dariganga region in Sukhbaatar, the Gobi covers a third of Mongolia. Fossil finds have recealed that the Gobi basin was once part of large inland sea. The word "Gobi" simply means `desert` in the Mongolian language.
The Gobi is a land of extremes: decent rain does not falls really often. it can be well over 40`C during the summer, and below -40`C in winter. And storm of dust and sand are fearsome in spring.
