Fodor recommends Mongolia as best destination to visit in 2018
Fodor’s editors suggested Mongolia to everyone who wishes to “experience final days of pristine nomadic life and birth of booming, modern metropolis”.
Fodor’s Travel, a leading name in travel recommendations for over 80 years, expanded its Travel Go List from 25 to 52 destinations this year to provide an interesting place for each week of 2018. “Despite all of the recent calamity and horrors — both natural and manmade — this really is a magical world that deserves to be explored,” said Jeremy Tarr, editorial director of Fodors.com. Fodor’s editors suggested Mongolia to everyone who wishes to “experience the final days of pristine nomadic life and the birth of a booming, modern metropolis”. “Mongolia is a land of pristine blue skies that stretch for miles, rolling mountains and steppes covered in sweet Mongolian grass, mirrored Khuvsgul Lake, and vast desert landscapes. In the countryside, where locals do their ornate brocade deel and sip airag, a fermented mare’s milk at intimate Naadam celebrations, while racks of fresh khuruud cheese dry atop gers in the arid breeze. As climate change leads to desertification and pushes nomads into the capital city, Ulaanbaatar, these quiet scenes of Mongolian life are quickly vanishing. The review also advised purchasing cashmere and yak wool products and purses made from recycled traditional Kazakh tapestries to support nomads. The best time to visit Mongolia is said to be from late spring to early fall, with July and August being the most popular dates for tourists as the National Naadam Festival is annually held during the summer.
