It's the fact that Mongolia is the emptiest country in the world.

With an average of just two people per square kilometer, Mongolia is truly unique.

The people of Mongolia live in traditional homes called "gers."

[{"selector":"#anim-246b61d5-575e-4c67-a929-1dff6da87fae","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-91d0663b-ca0c-4a60-a0e1-e8a4a45e266c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(50.92592581215163%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

These gers are not just homes; they are a way of life.

And what's even more fascinating is that they can pack up their entire home in just 20 minutes.

[{"selector":"#anim-5d96f176-1be8-4265-9ac4-22201d5d7681","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-550c6256-6488-4d91-8de7-50f7a473f1de [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Then, they load it onto camels.

And with their ger on the move, they can go anywhere in Mongolia and call it home.

This unique nomadic lifestyle allows them to explore the vast beauty of their country freely.
