Today we started our tour with National Geographic G Adventures.


First up was the Gandan Monastery where we were treated to hypnotic chanting by the monks in the vibrant-colored temple. Later, we explored the Winter Palace of Bogd Khan, the former residence of Mongolia’s last king, showcasing its temples and royal items.






Zaisan Memorial, a Soviet-era monument commemorating Russian soldiers who died in World War II.


A late afternoon break at No Limits Cafe provided us with delicious coffee served by local youth with Down syndrome and their mothers.
