A capital that empties into the steppe within the hour, ger camps where the horizon does something no city skyline ever will, and a nomadic culture willing to teach you the horsemanship on the spot.
The best time to visit Ulaanbaatar & the Steppe is Jun–Aug, when typical daytime highs reach about 22°C (71°F).
