Meat, Meat, Meat

One of the cornerstones of Mongolian cuisine is meat, particularly mutton, beef, and horse meat, reflecting the importance of livestock in Mongolian culture. A visit to Mongolia is incomplete without trying the traditional dish “Buuz” – steamed dumplings filled with meat and seasoned with onion, garlic, and salt. This simple yet flavorful dish encapsulates the essence of Mongolian cooking.

Borts

Another must-try is “Borts” – dried meat that Mongolians carry with them during long journeys. When rehydrated, Borts transforms into a nourishing meal, often served in soups or stews. It’s a testament to the ingenuity of Mongolian cooking, adapted to a nomadic way of life.

Dairy Products

Mongolia’s dairy products are also noteworthy. From “Aaruul” (dried curd) to “Airag” (fermented mare’s milk), these dairy delights offer a glimpse into the traditional flavors cherished by the Mongolian people.

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.

Located in Northeast Asia, sandwiched between China to the south and Siberia to the north, Mongolia is a place with a fascinating landscape and a culture that is very unique.

It also features plenty of natural landscapes to be photographed and explored, as it is the least-densely populated country on Earth.

Frederic Lagrange is a French travel photographer that spends much of his time photographing Mongolia. While he also spends some time photographing other places, much of his Instagram feed and photography work focuses on Mongolia.

One of Mongolia’s most unique biomes and terrains is the Gobi landscape. An arid steppe region, this cold desert climate provides life to animals such as marmots and the grazing livestock that nomadic herders roam the earth with.

Some of Mongolia’s landscapes might even surprise you. In the midst of all of the dryness that Mongolia has, beautiful alpine lakes are captured beautifully by Lagrange.

Mongolia has to be a challenging place to shoot. It looks more like the Moon than our own planet in many cases. If you’re interested in discovering more about this one-of-a-kind place, be sure to give @fredericlagrange a follow.

Mongolian Cashmere

Mongolia is known for its high-quality cashmere and their goats produce a third of world’s cashmere.  You can buy it from the factory shop, the department store or even at the museums’ shops.

Traditional Clothes

Do you want a unique Halloween costume? Well, then, you should dress like a Mongolian! You can find their traditional clothes, boots, hats etc. everywhere. In the end, it will have a double purpose: it will remind you of “The Land of the Blue Sky” and it will be a great gear for a costume party, as well.

The “Bone Game”

Shagai, aka the ankle bones of a sheep or a goat, is collected and used for traditional games and fortune-telling. They can be painted in bright colors and they are exchanged as tokens. Men collect wolf shagai as well, which symbolizes the good-luck.

Art

Paintings representing the Mongol Empire, warriors, battles etc. on a paper, canvas, wood or even on a silk will be a perfect gift to take home.
