The
culture of Mongolia's people has remained
intact despite centuries of domination by
China and Russia.Their nomadic lifestyle
has changed little since the days of Chinggis
Khaan, and the Tibetan form of Buddhism
is being revived following the religious
purges of the last century.
During
this tour you will visit Erdene Zuu monastery,
the original center of Buddhism in Mongolia,
built on the ruins of Chinggis Khaan's capital.
The journey offers the chance to see mountain, desert and steppe landscapes, and you will
spend a day with a nomadic family enabling
you to see and understand how they work and
enjoy life under such harsh conditions.
Back
in Ulaanbaatar we will show you the most interesting
and important temples and museums, so you
can appreciate how the history, religion and
culture of Mongolia have enabled the country
to survive.
