Mongolia things to see and do
Mongolia is far-flung and little visited yet has much to offer, from the stunning scenery and wildlife of mountains and deserts to the emerging luxury hotels and restaurants of capital Ulaanbaatar.
Religions in Mongolia
Traditionally, Mongols practiced Shamanism, worshipping the Blue Sky. However, Tibetan Buddhism (also called Vajrayana Buddhism) gained more popularity after it was introduced in 16th century.
Rivers in Mongolia
There are over 4,000 rivers in Mongolia, known as Gols in Mongolian. Most of the country's 20 or so significant waterways are in the Northern Arctic Basin in Central and Northern Mongolia, which has the highest annual precipitation.
