Worked there for nearly 3 years and hoping I'll be returning soon. Intoxicating country. UB isn't a great city (built for a population of 600k but has 3 times that living there) so traffic and pollution are horrendous...but I still love it. Amazing people and stunning natural beauty. Just to point out, it's Chinggis Khan. And no mention of Hurd (Mongolia's most famous rock group). Shame on you, they are fantastic! 😁
Mongolia is the 18th largest country in the world by area, but it has an extremely low population density, even lower than the Sahara Desert. This is due to its harsh climate, which makes most of the land unsuitable for permanent settlement. On top of that, the nomadic lifestyle of the people also contributes to this sparsity-many Mongolians move constantly in search of grazing land for their livestock, rather than settling permanently in one place 🐎🐎🐎.
