Mongolia is a land shrouded in mystique and majesty, founded as an empire by Genghis Khan in 1206, yet still largely a desolate wilderness. It spans the harsh Gobi Desert, rugged ice-capped mountains, roaring rivers, glacial lakes and the vast, barren steppe, where enormous shaggy yak and hoofed ibex roam. Adventurers come to ride horses out to remote ice fields, explore the Khongor sand dunes atop a two-humped camel and sleep overnight in a traditional ger. You\u2019ll receive the warmest welcome from the locals, and immersion in their truly fascinating culture. Watch the legendary eagle hunters, meet nomadic tribespeople, learn about life in this inhospitable terrain. Visit stunning Buddhist monasteries, explore the ruins of Genghis Khan\u2019s capital, Karakorum, admire ancient petroglyphs and the UNESCO-listed Orkhon Valley, home to the fabled palaces of Xanadu. It\u2019s a simple country with few modern luxuries, and the most sparsely populated country in the world. Mongolia is a raw, utterly unique adventure you\u2019ll never forget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3877,"template":"","format":"standard","country_category":[193],"when-filter":[],"type-filter":[],"who-filter":[],"appeal-filter":[],"class_list":["post-4167","destination","type-destination","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","country_category-asia-en-us"],"yoast_head":"\nSabbatical & Experiential Vacations In Mongolia | LiNGER Travel<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Experience the vast wilderness and rich culture of Mongolia on your sabbatical or experiential vacation with LiNGER Travel.
