Mongolia is landlocked and may be the reason why Genghis Khan felt the need to conquer.
Now a democratic country with a multi party system a far cry from yesteryear but the landscape is largely the same, Massive steeps or sands, forested mountain ranges and Himalayan like mountains. Mongolia has a market economy and the best time to visit is in June to September.

Khovsgol (Khuvsgul Nuur) Mongolia

As lakes go its big, how big? 136km long, 36.5km wide 262 meters deep, but at 1560m altitude it’s a big bowl of water!

Otherwise you can visit the reindeer people who live is wigwam style tents towards the Russian border, fish for massive lake salmon (Taiman). This is a very scenic part of the world and makes for some excellent horse trekking.
Mongolia’s lakes (notably the huge Khuvsgul Nuur) represent another good hiking destination, as do the Four Holy Peaks surrounding Ulaanbaatar or the Gobi Gurvansaikhan National Park, in the South Gobi. Visitors should note that the weather, although milder than expected, can vary greatly, especially in the mountains and in the Gobi Desert; it is recommended to bring a warm sweater and raincoat for any time of the year.
