Mongolia’s thousands of steep, rocky mountains are just perfect for hikers, mountain bikers, and climbers. Mongolia’s fast-running rivers are challenging to rafters. There are thousands of possibilities for hunters in Mongolia’s steppes and mountains, with their populous animal kingdom.
And Fourth, Mongolia is a country with a great history. The first empire on what is currently Mongolian territory was established two thousand years ago. Since then the Mongolian steppe has witnessed the rise and fall of several empires of nomadic warriors. At their peak, Mongolian warriors built the greatest empire in human history under the Great Chinghis (Ghengis) Khan and his successors. The territory of the Great Mongolian Empire stretched from the Pacific Ocean to Hungary and from Russia to the Korean Peninsula. The first western traveler to Mongolia in the 14th century, Marco Polo, wrote:

“the men are habituated to remain on horseback during two days and two nights, without dismounting; sleeping in that situation whilst their horses graze. No people upon earth can surpass them in fortitude under difficulties. From these qualities, so essential to the formation of soldiers, it is, that they are fitted to subdue the world, as in fact they have done in regard to a considerable portion“.

Pack some warm clothes. It can be quite chilly in the evening in the countryside, even in summer.
Any major currency can be exchanged for Mongolian currency, "tugrug", at banks or exchange points in the capital, Ulaanbaatar City. But this is not the case anywhere else in Mongolia.
The exchange rate of Mongolian currency fort major currencies can be found at http://www.tdbm.mn.
You can buy a cell phone with a prepaid calling card for about $100 U.S. Cell phone service covers about a half of the Mongolian administrative unit centers. International call is possible in those areas from cell phones.
It is possible to pay for purchases with credit cards only in a few shops in Ulaanbaatar City. Visa and Mastercard are the most widely accepted credit cards.
The internet is rarely available, once you leave the capital city.
It is a good idea to keep your passport and documents in the safe deposit box of your hotel.
If your itinerary includes a domestic flight, you can carry 10 kilos (22 pound) of baggage for free.
It is alright to refuse if you are offered alcoholic drinks or fermented mare's milk. But to show respect, you may take a small taste or just dip your upper lip into the drink.
Do not drink too much fermented mare's milk, unless you have tried it before. Fermented mare's milk from different areas can have a different effect on your digestive system.
If you step on someone, shake his or her hand. There is a common superstition that if you do not shake hands after stepping on someone, there will be conflict between you. Do not feel strange if someone touches or shakes your hand. He or she must have stepped on you.
Say “Sain baina uu,” or ‘Hello’ when you meet a person for the first time. But do not repeat this phrase when you meet the same person on the same day. Mongolians do not say, “Hi,” to each other whenever they meet on any particular day. A small comment or smile will be nice greeting.
