The magic of Mongolia
Central Mongolia offers great plains and scattered gers, probably the same view Ögödei Khan had when he set up a power base here 750 years ago. The historical gem of the area is Erdene Zuu Monastery, the oldest in Mongolia. Nearby lie the ruins of Karakorum, the ancient capital of the Mongol empire. There isn’t much left of Karakorum, as the bricks from the ancient city were used to build the massive 108 stupas that surround Erdene Zuu. West of Karakorum, travelers make their way up the Orkhon river valley to visit the stunning 20m tall Ulaan Tsutgalan waterfall, an old hermitage used by the great sculptor Zanabazar. The camping is excellent in the Orkhon valley, where herds of sheep, goat, yak, horse, and cattle mingle freely. The hot springs, lakes and a lovely provincial capital in Arkhangai, round out a visit to the region.
