 The
majestic western Mongolia is definitely
the most beautiful part of the country. The
mountainous area climate is extreme with very
little vegetation, giving the surrounding landscape
a barren appearance. The stunning mountains
of Altai are home to wild animals such as the
globally endangered Snow Leopard, Argali and
Ibex, as well as wolves and many bird species.
 Ethnic
groups: Altai area is a place where
many ethnic groups inhabit. You will meet the
Kazak, Tuva, Torguud and many other small groups
and enjoy their distinctive traditions and lives.
The Kazakh is a small ethnic group of Turkic
origin that was one of Genghis Khaan's tribes.
They are Muslims and now live peacefully keeping
their completely different customs, strict traditions,
religion and inhabit the Altai Mountains. Not
like their relatives in Kazakhstan, they speak
in their own Kazakh language as Mongolian government
gave them the rights to keep and conserve their
native language and religion.
