Mongolia is for all things uninhibited, and a road trip might just be the best way to explore this country. With Russia and China for its neighbours, and a terrain that is desert as well as gigantic mountains, it is a place steeped in mystery. If you have been inspired by the likes of Indiana Jones and Jack Sparrow, Mongolia is where you can get as close to their wild fantasies; and this is what makes it the land of all things wild.

Mongolia is not a place for hotel stays, though you can choose one during your stay in the capital. While an out landing trip is perfect to explore the country, nights are best spent in open, in a comfortably warm tent though because temperature plummets fast here. The starkly clear sky will make up for the bitter cold. With some luck, planning, and money, you can have the lifetime experience of staying with the Mongolian nomads. A quick search online of how their gers (tents) look like will be lures enough for you; these tents come with no windows and are intricately decorated.
