Wild Mongolia
Mongolia is known as the land of the Eternal Sky. But on the ground, it is a land of extreme. It is harsh. It is cold. It is dry and windy. It is unforgiving and is landlocked in the heart of Asia.
Mongolia is home to some of the toughest, and most adaptable animals on Earth. The Mongolian Steppe lies trapped between the Taiga forests in the North and the dry and arid Gobi desert in the South. It's home to animals whose lives revolve around one essential thing: Grass.
In the West of Mongolia, the Altai Mountains are a golden backdrop to some of the most iconic and elusive animals in the world; the snow leopard. In the East, the Manul or Pallas's cat lives in a very specific and harsh environment - the rocky steppes and stony outcroppings of the grasslands.
Mongolia's raw beauty is one of the most stunning, untouched landscapes left on earth. It has been hidden from the world for so long, that it is hard to imagine that this secluded country once created the largest empire ever known.
