Ger camps in the steppe, horseback riding, wild horses and the old capital of Genghis Khan’s empire.

Mongolia begins at the edge of Ulaanbaatar, a capital of monasteries and museums where half the people still live in gers. The Terelj national park, an hour away, has granite rocks, larch valleys and ger camps for riding and hiking; west across the steppe, past the wild Przewalski’s horses of Hustai, Kharkhorin stands on the site of Karakorum, the capital of the Mongol Empire, with the Erdene Zuu monastery.
