What makes Mongolia special is that there is nothing to see. There are only one or two classic-tourist sites to head off to. The real majesty of this country lies in its vast emptiness, bringing the traveller into a close communion with nature and its nomadic inhabitants. This East Asian country is entirely land-locked, nestled between China and Russia. The weather is bitterly cold during the winter, dropping down to -40 celsius in parts. With many types of terrain--from desert to verdant mountains--the weather during the summer varies from region to region. Generally, however, this time of year is marked with many rains, and it can become quite cool at night. (Description by Wikipedia.org)
