The best part of any journey is learning from new experiences. In Mongolia, the first thing you’d learn is that almost half of the country’s population is made up of nomads. But, they are slowly settling down as more and more people now try put down their roots in Ulaanbaatar.
Despite their nomadic nature, the locals will expertly navigate your destination with your small group. Local children are very friendly and will happily play with you.
