Far from the fame of neighbouring China is a country that stands still in time, where the last nomadic communities carry on the slow pace of pastoral rhythms, making Mongolian life unique in the world, far from the chaos and frenzy of the big cities. An authentic and still little known treasure, Ulaanbaatar is the capital that mixes innovation and tradition, with its modern skyscrapers that coexist with yurts - the traditional houses of Mongolia. Genghis Khan is a real creed here, and the grandeur of his 40-metre statue in Tsonjuun Boldog will make you truly feel the glory surrounding this national hero. But alongside faith for the great leader, Mongolia reflects the perfect harmony between Buddhism and shamanism, creating an incredibly pleasant atmosphere which you can get a taste of in the sumptuous Gandan Monastery.
