Grassland running flat to the horizon in every direction, a night in a ger with a family who will insist on the fermented mare's milk, and horses ridden the way they have been ridden here for a thousand years.

The best time to visit Mongolia — the steppe is Jun–Aug, when typical daytime highs reach about 22°C (71°F).
