Discover Mongolia
Eastern Mongolia
Walk in the footsteps of Chinggis Khaan across the endless steppe, where mighty rivers carve through ancient Taiga forests and the grasslands stretch beyond the horizon.
The Homeland of Legends
Where the Great Khan Was Born
Eastern Mongolia is mostly recognized as the homeland of the legendary Chinggis Khaan. Yet since ancient times, the endless steppe of the East has been home to various Mongolian ethnic groups — Khalkha, Buryat, Zakhchin, Dariganga, Barga and Uzemchin.
The region divides into two distinct landscapes. In the north, rich Taiga forests of pine, rugged mountains and mighty rivers dominate. The southern part forms the eastern edge of the Gobi Desert. The northern part is famed not only for its sheer beauty but as the birthplace of Chinggis Khaan, founder of the Mongol Empire — the largest contiguous land empire the world has ever known.
The massive Kherlen and Onon Rivers are rarely visited by foreigners, offering travelers crystal-clear water, beautiful landscapes and great amounts of taimen, lenok and Amur trout.
