Mongolia is hot right now with World Nomads travellers – if you’re prepared to get off the beaten path, or any path really, the Daily Mail says.

Mongolia is often overlooked as people tend to visit nearby countries like Russia and China, but it shouldn’t be missed by travellers. With an area of approximately 1.6 million square kilometers, Mongolia is about four times as big as California and more than six times bigger than the entire United Kingdom.

Mongolia is a land of the unexpected, taking you across a diverse range of landscape from flat barren land and mountainous terrain to the heat of the Gobi Desert. With more than one third of its three million inhabitants living as nomads, Mongolia is one of the few countries where visitors can still experience a genuine nomadic lifestyle. Family stays offer a glimpse on what it’s like to live an itinerant lifestyle and a chance to experience the famous Mongolian hospitality.
