By Deanne Shepard


Mongolia is an excellent tourist destination, quite different from the popular resorts, where most well-trodden routes lead. Nature, almost untouched and interrupted by human activities, is the major source of wealth for this country. This is the reason why followers of the Eco-tourism flock into this area in huge numbers. The capital of this country hosts the richest and largest monasteries visited by many pilgrims. Next to the city, there are the Holy mountain reserves. To the west of Mongolia capital, on the banks of Orkhon river are the excavations of Karakorum which is the ancient capital of Mongol Empire. Next to this are the largest Buddhist monasteries that were built in sixteenth century. All these features are what make Mongolian tours thrilling and exciting.
