Recent years, cramming animals inside and feeding unnatural forage to ‘fatten up’ quickly are became common practices. It might be not wrong to tell that there are a few countries which produce ecological friendly meat. Mongolia is the top country that people graze their livestock in the wild so that means animals do not eat chemical fertilizer, but pure natural grass. The fact of it is that your car will often be imposed to slow down all of sudden because of some herds and horses in pack during your trip in Mongolia. You will see livestock gazes in steppes, around the hills and even outside of your ger (Mongolian traditional accommodation) there will be a bleat of sheep and goats grazing.

Mongolia is the least crowded country and 19th largest country in the world. The population is 3 million in area of 1,564,116[1] km2 (603,909 sq. mi). The half of population lives in capital Ulaanbaatar city and 35-40% of people are still nomads. The landscape consists of vast semi desert and desert plains, grassy steppe, mountains in west and southwest.
#3. Last nomads
Mongolia is only place for people who want to experience nomadic life and culture as they are last truly nomads. Through Mongolia, you will see numerous Gers in countryside and the city.

Have you ever heard that Mongolia is home to Dinosaur? In Mongolian Gobi Desert, there are more dinosaur fossils than any other paleontological reservoir in the planet. There is Bayanzag – Flaming Cliffs, well known for red tall hillocks formed as a result of wind and water erosion which look like fire in the middle of the desert from distance at sunrise and sunset. It was here in 1923 that American expedition leaded by Dr. Roy Chapman Andrews found the first nest of dinosaurs eggs the world had ever seen. Their findings proved to the world that dinosaurs laid eggs. The dinosaur founded with its eggs in Gobi Desert was Protoceratops.
