EASTERN MONGOLIA

Eastern Mongolia is where heaven and earth fuse into one part – a boundless blue sky colliding with an equally limitless sea of green. The occasional wooden shack or ger reminds you that humans do inhabit this enormous landscape, but for the most part it’s an unspoilt amphitheatre of bounding gazelle, scurrying marmots and jeep tracks that squiggle endlessly into the distance. This is one of the world’s last great unharmed grassland ecosystems, and you can imagine yourself galloping along it on horseback. The final frontier, this is by far the remotest, and least visited part of Mongolia, and a venture into its depths is a challenge even to the most experienced of travelers
