Mongolia Adventures

Economy & Tourism

Mongolia’s economy is powered by mining (coal, copper, gold), livestock industries (cashmere and meat), and an expanding tourism sector built on its nomadic heritage and untouched landscapes. As a leading destination for sustainable travel, Mongolia offers immersive experiences that directly support local herder communities.

Cultural Highlights

  • Nomadic Lifestyle – Around 30% of Mongolians still live in gers (yurts), practicing seasonal herding. Experience authentic traditions like airag (fermented mare’s milk) and the ancient art of eagle hunting with Kazakh nomads.
  • Festivals – Witness the vibrant Naadam Festival (July) with horse racing, wrestling, and archery, or celebrate Tsagaan Sar (Lunar New Year) for a true taste of Mongolian culture.
  • Etiquette – Show respect by offering gifts with both hands, avoiding ger thresholds, and honoring Buddhist customs at sacred sites like Gandan Monastery.

Top Destinations

  • Gobi Desert – Climb the Khongor Sand Dunes, explore the Flaming Cliffs (famous for dinosaur fossils), and encounter wild Bactrian camels.

  • Khuvsgul Lake – Known as the “Blue Pearl of Mongolia,” enjoy kayaking or meet the nomadic Tsaatan reindeer herders near Siberia.

  • Altai Mountains – Trek across Tavan Bogd’s glaciers and meet the legendary golden eagle hunters.

  • Ulaanbaatar – Explore Mongolia’s dynamic capital, home to the Genghis Khaan Museum (opened 2022) and the revered Gandan Monastery.
