Mongolia /mɒŋˈɡoʊliə/ ( listen) (Monggol Ulus in Mongolian; Монгол Улс in Mongolian Cyrillic) is a landlocked unitary sovereign state in East Asia. Its area is roughly equivalent with the historical territory of Outer Mongolia, and that term is sometimes used to refer to the current state. It is sandwiched between China to the south and Russia to the north. Mongolia does not share a border with Kazakhstan, although only 37 kilometres (23 mi) separates them.

There are quality, fairly-priced souvenirs both large and small, all skilfully handcrafted by local artisans, so by purchasing their goods, you are really helping to support and empower the local community. I left with a stunningly elegant bag made by a Kazakh artisan and a gorgeously colourful zip pouch upcycled from decorative wall hangings. I also had the most wonderful conversation with the founder/owner Irene and learned a lot from her, and found the rest of the staff all very beautiful and kind. My visit to Mary & Martha truly left a smile on my face, and I could not recommend them highly enough.

Biggest sand dunes in Mongolia. You will experience how amazing it is to ride an enduro bike in the endless steppes of Mongolia. On the way we will stop by at Yoliin Am Canyon which is full of glacier almost all year round.This national park area is a home to many animals such as Gobi bear, the world famous argali sheep and many others. Once we reach the dunes, we spend the night in our tents right next to the sand mountains, the beginnings of the Gobi desert.

I had always wanted to visit the flaming cliffs before I even heard of their name, having heard of the journeys of Roy Chapman Andrews during the 1920s and the groupbreaking dinosaur discoveries made on his expeditions. What I did not know, however, before visiting the flaming cliffs was the sheer human agony and suffering that he and his men went through to make these discoveries. Regardless, the cliffs themselves truly a sight to behold.

This is well worth a visit as it visually wonderful as well as geographically interesting. It is a big limestone escarpment with a height of 200m and a length of 400m. It is well worth the climb to the top as it provides you with excellent views of the wonderful rock formations created by the wind. There were few people while we were there so it was peaceful as well as spectacular.
