Welcome to Mongolia, the land of Blue Sky and boundless space, the cradle of nomadic peoples.

Time almost stopped there many centuries ago. Noise of civilization does not disturb calmness of most of wild and virgin places.

Mongolia is one of few places where nature still keeps its original condition. You can find here fresh air and pure water springs, sand dunes of Gobi desert and high mountains, endless steppe and deep forests.

One can discover many historical things like etched stone monuments, deer stones, rock drawings and forgotten tombs.Although people have inhabited Mongolia since the Stone Age, Mongolia only became politically important after iron weapons entered the area in the 3rd century BC.

In general, Mongolia at this point had a similar history to the rest of the nomadic steppe that lies between Siberia Northern Russia to the North, China, and, the Middle East and Central Asia to the South.

Archaeological finds have confirmed that almost the entire territory of Mongolia was settled in prehistoric times. From the 1920s, archaeological excavations around Mongolia unearthed many interesting and important sites, a large number of them prehistoric. Of particular interest are settlements with graves and semi-subterranean dwellings near the town of Choibalsan, Dornod Aimag, the eastern province of Mongolia, and finds in the area around Bayanzag, Omnogobi Aimag, the southern province. These were discovered in the 1920s by the third Central Asiatic Expedition led by American Roy Chapman Andrews. Excavations of these settlements and graves showed that the bodies were interred in a seated position in narrow pits, with bone knives and pearl beads.

For sure, this will be the very first step to visit Mongolia.
