Ulaanbaatar
- The Heart of Mongolia
Ulaanbaatar
is the capital city of Mongolia located on the basin
of beautiful Tuul River, on the northern side of the
Bogd mountain-a national protected area. Similar was
the story with its name: Urgoo (1639-1706); Ih Huree
(1706 - 1911); Niislel Huree (1911 - 1923); and finally
Ulaanbaatar (since 1924).
In
1639 a fluent khalkha feudal lord Tusheet Khan Gombodorj
elevated his son Zanabazar of 5 years to the head of
the Buddhist religion and in his honor a nomadic town
was named Urge. From 1639 for about 140 years it was
a migrant city, until it became to settled finally in
1778 in its present location. After the victory of the
People's Revolution, inaugurating a new era in the history
of the development of the town.
Today
Ulaanbaatar is the political, economical, cultural and
scientific center of Mongolia. Since today many industrial
enterprises, residential areas, cultural and service
centers have been built in and around of Ulaanbaatar.
The capital has over 700.000 inhabitants.
The
4 peaks surrounding Ulaanbaatar are considered holy.
The Tsetseegum, Chingeltei, Songino Khairkhan and Bayansurkh
mountains correspond, more or less, to the 4 points
on the compass. These peaks are tremendous for hiking,
and they're popular for their forests of larch trees,
grasslands and stunning bird and animal life, including
ibex and sable. Tsetseegum Uul is easily the most magnificent.
At 2260m (7400ft), it's the highest point in the Bogd
Khaan Mountain range, which dominates the skyline to
the south of Ulaanbaatar. The trip is only sensible
from the beginning of June to the end of September and
a permit is required, which you can get at the entrance
gate to the Bogd Khaan National Park, about 15km (9mi)
south of Ulaanbaatar. The Manzushir Monastery Route
to Tsetseegum from the mountain's southern side is the
easiest. Along it there are broad meadows, fields of
rocky boulders and Ovoos (pile of stones left as offerings
to the gods). The Zaisan Route is the most scenic but
also the most difficult, taking about 6 hours each way
along precariously steep boulders. Anyway you go, along
with the permit, you'll need a compass, plenty of water,
food and cold weather gear, as sudden thunderstorms
and icy winds can come out of nowhere even in summer.
The
center of the city is Sukhbaatar
Square. From this spot in July 1921 Damdiny Sukhbaatar,
the 'hero of the revolution', declared Mongolia's independence
from the Chinese. The square was also where the first
protests were held in 1989, which eventually led to
the fall of communism. The State Parliament House faces
the square, as does the tall, modern Palace of Culture,
a useful landmark containing the impressive Mongolian
Art Gallery and other odes to Mongolian culture. One
block northwest of the square, the Museum of Natural
History is worth a visit if you're heading into the
countryside.
Around
the start of the 19th century, over 100 Tibetan Buddhist
Sum (temples) and Khiid (monasteries) served a population
of about 50,000 in Ulaanbaatar. Most of the temples
and monasteries, along with their belongings, were destroyed
during the Stalinist purges of the late 1930s. Gandantegchinlen
Monastery survived because the communists kept it as
a showcase to impress foreigners. Roughly meaning 'the
great place of complete joy', Gandantegchilen is one
of Ulaanbaatar's most amazing sights. Within it are
several glorious temples adorned with gold and jewels.
The 150 or so monks who live here do their bit to bring
the temples back to life with plenty of chanting and
ceremonial sing. The Winter Palace of Bogd Khaan was
also spared. Built between 1893 and 1903, it's where
Mongolia's 8th Bogd Khaan (Living Buddha) and last king
lived for 20 years.

Gobi
- Home of Dinosaurs
The
Gobi Desert Area is one
of the untouched, unique, and one of the mysterious
places on earth. The site of an ancient inland sea,
the Gobi Desert is a treasure chest of fossilized dinosaur
bones and eggs.
The
Gobi Desert is a vast zone of desert and desert steppe
covering almost 30 percent of the Mongolian territory.
Gobi Desert Region is situated in the south part of
Mongolia. It is the biggest 6-th Biosphere Reserve Area
in the world, 4-th in Asia. It is Asia’s largest
desert, covering about 1.295.000 square km in Mongolia
and the Inner Mongolia region of China. The name “GOBI”
means, “Place without water”. The area is
often imagined as a lifeless desert like in many other
parts of the world. In reality, most part of the Gobi
Desert is a land of steppes and it is the home for camel
breeders rich with wildlife and vegetation. Mongolians
consider that there are 33 different Gobi, where sandy
desert occupies only 3 percent of the total territory.
Climate is extreme with +40 degrees Celsius in summer
and severe winters.
The
Gobi – the very name evokes the wildest images
of Mongolia one can ever imagine. This dramatic semi-desert
region has attracted explorers for many years, including
Roy Chapman Andrews of the American Museum of Natural
History in the 1920s, followed by expeditions from Russia,
Poland, and China, among others. Some of the most outstanding
pale ontological discoveries of the century have been
made here, giving the Gobi the nickname the “El
Dorado of dragon bones”.
Today,
the Gobi is home of so-called “living dinosaurs,”
the rare Bactrian (two-humped) camels that graze freely
over the vast steppe land of the Gobi desert following
their nomadic herders. Bactrian camels are the symbol
of the Gobi desert, and constitute one of the most important
aspects of the desert’s ecosystem. They are extremely
important to the Gobi's nomadic families, who breed
them for various purposes including transportation,
clothing, and dairy products. To find dinosaur remains
is not difficult. Mongolian guides can show you good
remain in the Gobi.
There
are oases such as Ekhiin gol, Tsagaan Burgas, Shar huls
etc. Even though it is arid the natural wildlife is
diverse, including Pit vipers, Bactrian camel, Khavtgai
(wild camel), pallas cat, Takhi (wild horse), Khulan
(wild ass), Saiga, gazelle, antelope, Siberian (desert)
ibex, Mazaalai (gobi bear), Snow
Leopard, Vulture Lammergeyer, Golden Eagle and other
rare animals.
The
"Thousand Camel Festival" is an annual event
organized by a local non-governmental organization working
to protect and preserve the bactrian camel population,
which has been steadily declining over the past 10 years.
The festival allows travelers a rare opportunity to
interact with and learn first-hand about these magnificent
animals and the camel herders’ nomadic lifestyle.
Highlights of the festival include 10K and 15K camel
races, performances by traditional Mongolian musicians
and dancers, and visits to significant pale ontological
and cultural sites in the Gobi. Also in the last times
Mongolian people are organizing Camel Polo.

Nuruu" National Park - Place of Takhi /Wild Horses/

in 1993 to preserve Mongolia's wild Takhi
horses and the steppe environment in which they live.
The takhi is probably the most recognized and successful
symbol of Mongolia's diverse and unique wildlife. Also

the countryside in great herds. Before 1930-ies wild
horses existed in Mongolia, Russian Scientist Mr. Przewalskii

experts took 10 wild horses
to acclimatize in own motherland.
In
the 1960s they almost became extinct because poachers
killed them for meat, and because development and livestock
overgrazing reduced their fodder. In the early 1990s,
with assistance from international environmental groups,
many takhi were reintroduced into specially protected
areas in the 90,000ha (222,300acre) of Khustain Nuruu
