  Outer Mongolia is one of the few places on earth where travellers can still explore with a true sense of adventure. Vast tracts of this land of blue sky can be discovered on the back of a horse or camel, for an authentic cultural experience in the style of Ghengis Khan's mounted army, or in the comfort of a four-wheel drive. Comprehensive coverage of the opportunities for riding, climbing, fishing, biking and rafting are provided for this top global destination for adventure tourism. Mongolian hospitality is legendary, making responsible travel and Bradt's customary giving something back advice especially relevant for travellers. It includes cultural, environmental and adventure-sports travel, festivals such as Naadam, the annual celebration of wrestling, archery and horse riding, and tips on enjoying nomadic ger hospitality. It also covers overland travel preparations, exploring the Great Wall of China, the capital, Ulaanbaatar, and useful phrases.
