DAY TRIP
HISTORY AND MONUMENTS OF MONGOLIA
Trip Summary
The Mongol Empire was the largest continuous land empire and the second largest empire overall in world history, after the British. At its height, it stretched from the Danube to the Sea of Japan and from Novgorod to Cambodia, covering over 12,741,000 sq mi or 22% of the Earth’s total land area, with an estimated population of about 100 million people. The success of the Mongol Empire exceeds any other world conquerors in its preceding time and afterwards, including those of Alexander the Great and Napoleon. The empire reached its zenith during the Khubilai Khan who conquered all of China and establishing the Great Yuan Dynasty. The time between 14th century till early 20th century saw Mongolia’s disintegration into smaller parts and was eventually conquered and ruled by the Qing Dynasty for 350 years, which ended in 1911.

Photos & Review
I had the trip of my dreams with the incredible people at Mongolia Quest! I absolutely recommend them to anyone considering a trip to Mongolia without hesitation. I began planning my trip in late 2019, early 2020, but my plans were delayed until this June because of COVID. From the get go, the company’s amazing founder Gerel, carefully listened to my desired destinations and put together the most amazing itinerary for me; truly, the trip of a life time! Most importantly for me, he sent me a 30 page list of recommended books on Mongolia, its history, religions, and culture, with a brief synopsis for each!! He’s a learned man who loves his country and that makes a huge difference, in my opinion. He also paired me with my incredible travel mates, Temuu and Doghi, for a breath-taking experience that I will never forget. If you’re thinking about going to Mongolia, don’t think twice, go and go with Mongolia Quest!
