Mongolia
Mongolia: Empire and Democracy
June 1-11, 2008

Itinerary :
This 11-day seminar begins and ends in Ulaanbaatar. Included is a study tour to Khentii province, birthplace of Chinggis Khaan, where participants will spend two nights at a traditional ger camp, the circular felt tents that the Mongolians have traditionally lived in for centuries. This is a unique opportunity to travel off-the-beaten-track for on site lectures in places of historic significance and witness the traditional Mongolian nomadic lifestyle. Please note that the hotel in Ulaanbaatar, where participants will spend the majority of their time, meets traditional IFDS standards. The tourist ger accommodation, however, while clean and comfortable, is double-occupancy and has a separate building with hot water and toilets.

For further information and pricing, please visit CIEE.
