Locked in the heart of Central Asia between China and Russia, the vast country of Mongolia, 3 times the size of France, has just 3 million inhabitants.

In the extreme west lies the Altai massif, 4,300 metres high, an astonishing mass in this land of endless flat steppes. The Kazakh nomads and the Touva people have lived on these arid lands for centuries. With their age-old traditions, protected wildlife and archaeological treasures, the Mongols are proud of the region they call Bayan Olgii, the cradle of wealth.
