Mongolia used to be a big white spot for me on the map, it always inrigued me, and finally I am here! I started my trip on the border with Mongolia in Russia Ulan Ude, the capital of Buryatia republic. Then headed to Ulaanbaatar and further to the steppes to stay with a nomadic family and learn about country's Soviet heritage and nomadic traditions.

I've always dreamt about traveling in Mongolia, and it wouldn't be possible without
https://nomaadglamping.com Nomaad Glamping Tours. I definitely was impressed, so I recommend :)
