Holiday Sights Mongolia

Mongolia proves irresistible to lovers of wide spaces, the wild and natural beauty. Ulaanbaatar, the capital, has only a small population considering its roughly three times the size of France. Was a country that at one stage under the leadership of Genghis khan controlled the largest empire ever? They controlled china, Russia and it wasn’t till they tried to invade Hungary that the empire started to regress. It’s why the pope rings the bell once a year to remember the Hungarians that defended Europe from the Mongolian empire.

Attractions like the Gobi desert and the sand dunes of Khongor vary to the national park of Gorkhi-Telj where it is a lot more lush and green. The former capital of Karakorum, which was the capital during the peak of its empire, is very popular for its monastery. The scenery is just amazing and it’s earning its reputation as a great palace for trekking, rock climbing and snow caped mountains.

The national museum is fantastic for those that want to understand the history of this nation that nearly ruled the known world at the time. A whole room is dedicated to Genghis Khan who was emperor at the time.
