Mongolia has an ancient and fascinating culture that is still very much alive today. Long before the days of Chingis Khan (Gengis Khan) the people of Mongolia have existed as nomadic tribes, living primarily in tents (gers/yurts) that can be moved around the countryside, allowing their animals to graze on new pastures throughout the year.  

The Altai Mountains span an area of over 2000km, stretching across 4 different countries; China, Kazakhstan, Russia and Mongolia.
