Mongolia is one of the most remote and rugged countries on Earth. Located in north-central Asia and featuring large, deserted expanses where nature is king, those who love the outdoors will undoubtedly feel right at home here.
Here are three natural wonders that you absolutely must check out on your next trip to Mongolia.
Gorkhi-Terelj National Park
Located close to the capital city of Ulaanbaatar, Gorkhi-Terelj is a great option for seeing Mongolian wilderness. Here, you will find rock formations, untouched, sweeping plains, and green mountains that visitors can explore on camel or horseback.
Flaming Cliffs
Possibly the most spectacular place in Mongolia’s Gobi Desert is the famous Flaming Cliffs. These sandstone cliffs, which first gained notoriety after valuable minerals and dinosaur eggs were found near them in the early 20th century, turn bright red and orange at sunset as the sun reflects off of them.
Altai Tavan Bogd National Park
The Tavan Bogd mountain range in remote western Mongolia is probably the most spectacularly beautiful place in the entire country. Snow-capped peaks, alpine lakes, and glaciers contribute to the savagely beautiful landscape that high mountain lovers will find here.
