A fantastic introduction to my stay in Mongolia. My day began in heavy overnight snowfall at the serene Buddhist temple where I witnessed the monks chanting. We continued around the must see National Museum and Central Square districts before visiting the ex Soviet style monument in the afternoon with breathtaking views over the city. The evening cultural performance gives you an insight into the musical and cultural traditions of Mongolia. I highly rate this tour and guide!
