Explore a Mystical Land on a Tailor Made Holiday
Eventually this pastoral beauty
gives way to the urban sweep of Ulaanbaatar, and the contrast
between countryside and capital city couldn't be more marked.
Mongolia's commercial and financial hub, Ulaanbaatar, chaotically
blends ancient and modern in a cultural melting pot that is both
exciting and awe-inspiring.
Amidst office blocks, shopping
malls and skyscrapers you'll discover historic treasures such as
Gandan Khiid, a beautiful Buddhist monastery built in the late
nineteenth century, and the Winter Palace of Mongolia's last king,
Jebtzun Damba Hutagt VIII, which is now a museum featuring a large
collection of stuffed animals.
Ulaanbaatar boasts many other fine museums, art galleries and
theatres, along with a cosmopolitan selection of shops and
restaurants all of which combine to make the city a must-see
destination.
