Mongolia is a site of convergence with flora originating both in the Great Siberian Taiga and the central Asian steppe and desert.<br />Mongolia has acquired plant species from Manchuria in the east and from the Kazakhstan-Turan area in the west. The gradual transition from high mountain taiga, to mountain forest steppe and flat grassy plains, and on to semi-desert and true desert, offers features of the world's three basic vegetation regions. This is reflected in the change in precipitation and plant distribution, from foothills to the tops of mountain ranges in vertical belts. Mongolia has over 2,823 plant species, while central Siberia has 2,400 and Inner Mongolia has 2,176.<br /><img align="left" alt="floras of Mongolia" src="http://www.mongoliatourism.org/UserFiles/Image/mongoliatourism/new/20101213014.jpg" style="border: 1px solid rgb(153, 153, 153); float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; padding: 1px;" />There are 845 species of medicinal plants; over 1,000 of fodder plants; 173 of food plants; 489 of ornamental plants; and 195 of other significant plants. Mongolia has 2,095 species of herbaceous plant and 348 species of woody and shrubby plants. These comprise 17 species of big trees; 40 species of low trees and gig shrub; 146 species of shrub; 48 species of sub-shrubs; 91 species of partial sub-shrubs; 6 species of fodder and herbaceous; 1,765 species of longevity plants; 330 species of one- and two-year vascular plants; 21 families of flat moss; 38 families of leafy moss; 53 families of lichen; 1,236 species and sub-species of algae; and 900 species of mushrooms. There are relic species from prehistoric desert, forests, tertiary lakes, savannahs and the Ice Age in particular, many native to Mongolia. There are about 150 endemic vascular and lower plants, such as stipa mongolorum; adonis mongolica; betula mongolica; atraphaxis bracteata; calligonum gobicum; nanophyton mongolicum; gymnocarpus przewalskii; silene mongolica; potaninia mongolica; chesneya mongolica; astragalus gobicus; oxytropis ulzii-chutagii; and armisia gobica.</div><div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #001800; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"><img align="left" alt="plants of Mongolia" src="http://www.mongoliatourism.org/UserFiles/Image/mongoliatourism/new/20101213015.jpg" style="border: 1px solid rgb(153, 153, 153); float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; padding: 1px;" /><img align="left" alt="flora of Mongolia" src="http://www.mongoliatourism.org/UserFiles/Image/mongoliatourism/new/20101213016.jpg" style="border: 1px solid rgb(153, 153, 153); float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; padding: 1px;" /><br />The Khangai, Gobi-Altai and Mongolian Altai regions are the most abundant in species. Eighty-six plant species were registered as endangered or threatened in the first edition of the Mongolian Red Book. In the second edition (1997), this had increased dramatically, and included 75 medicinal species, 11 of food, 16 used in industry, 55 decorative species and 15 species used in soil fixing or controlling pests.

A law was passed in 2003 on international trade in animals, plants and related items, resulting from Mongolian membership of the 1975 CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna. Failure to meet convention standards results in an embargo on exports and imports, and stopping of financial assistance and support from other signatories.<br />Mongolia joined CITES in 1996 but still earns Tg1.5 billion from the international trade in endangered native flora and fauna. Mongolia has 14 mammal species, 71 birds, eight plants and two fish on the CITES protected list. These include the takhi, mazaalai (Gobi bear), snow leopard, wild ass, Siberian crane, white-naped crane, Dalmatian pelican, Macqueen's (Houbara) bustard, relict gull, Japanese crane and the oriental white Mongolian stork. However the grey wolf, lynx, musk deer, argali, saker falcon, apollo butterfly, European wild cat, Eurasian otter, elk, moose, tatar sand boa, Siberian and Amur sturgeon can still be traded with CITES permission. The Environment Ministry has a council to license such trade.</div>

Whether you cross its infinite plains via car, truck, Russian jeep or horseback, it can take hours, or even an entire day, before you reach a ger nestled in the distance or arrive at a small-town community.</div><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_12396" style="border: 1px solid rgb(215, 215, 215); font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px auto 20px; padding: 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; width: 610px;"><a href="https://www.gadventures.com/blog/mongolia-taking-adventure-road-less-travelled/screen-shot-2013-04-29-at-9-56-58-am/" rel="attachment wp-att-12396" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear; color: rgb(90, 64, 153) !important; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s linear;"><img alt="" class=" wp-image-12396 " height="400" src="https://www.gadventures.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-shot-2013-04-29-at-9.56.58-AM.png" style="border: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Flat lands of Mongolia." width="600" /></a><br /><div class="wp-caption-text" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 2px; padding: 0px;">Flat lands of Mongolia.</div></div><div style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">Dirt tracks are more common than paved roads, and the weather unpredictable as you hit intense desert heat to cold, heavy onslaughts of rain. Yet while my experience included wading through stodgy mud in order to dig out stuck vehicles and push them to freedom, much of my time was spent in awe – looking out at and being within a staggering expanse of serene, undisturbed wilderness.</div><div style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">Ulaanbaatar is the usual starting point; the bustling capital city offering everything from temples, museums and public squares, to international cuisine and busy nightlife. From there you will move through vistas that will change in color, texture and climate, where you will mostly be pitching a tent at the end of each day. Staying in a traditional ger is a unique and unforgettable experience, complete with a toasty coal fire heating system, the opportunity to sample local food and the 5am wake up calls horses and goats rustling around the outside walls.</div><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_12398" style="border: 1px solid rgb(215, 215, 215); font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px auto 20px; padding: 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; width: 610px;"><a href="https://www.gadventures.com/blog/mongolia-taking-adventure-road-less-travelled/screen-shot-2013-04-29-at-9-58-47-am/" rel="attachment wp-att-12398" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear; color: rgb(90, 64, 153) !important; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s linear;"><img alt="" class=" wp-image-12398 " height="400" src="https://www.gadventures.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-shot-2013-04-29-at-9.58.47-AM.png" style="border: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Gobi Desert" width="600" /></a><br /><div class="wp-caption-text" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 2px; padding: 0px;">Gobi Desert</div></div><div style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">The distinct lack of infrastructure and amenities means you are never far from the heart of Mongolian life – you are a part of it. Outside of Ulaanbaatar, <a href="http://www.gadventures.com/trips/mongolia/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear; color: rgb(90, 64, 153) !important; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s linear;">travelling through Mongolia</a> is like seeing surroundings that haven’t changed in decades or even centuries, where locals still live simply, inviting you into their homes with an eagerness to share their wonderful and unique way of life.</div><div style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">The great outdoors awaits you with plentiful opportunities for walks, hikes and adventure. Clamber through the Bag Gary Chula rock formations, marvel at the hot to cold contrast of the Olin Am canyon in the Gobi which is home to a year-round glacier or attempt the strenuous climb of the Khongoryn Els sand dunes, if only for the excitement of running or rolling down them afterwards. The beautiful Orkhon Valley and the National Parks of Hustain and Tereji – home to the tiny Przewalski horses unique to Mongolia – allow for spectacular picture-perfect panoramic views.</div><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_12400" style="border: 1px solid rgb(215, 215, 215); font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px auto 20px; padding: 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; width: 610px;"><a href="https://www.gadventures.com/blog/mongolia-taking-adventure-road-less-travelled/screen-shot-2013-04-29-at-10-00-17-am/" rel="attachment wp-att-12400" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear; color: rgb(90, 64, 153) !important; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s linear;"><img alt="" class=" wp-image-12400 " height="400" src="https://www.gadventures.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-shot-2013-04-29-at-10.00.17-AM.png" style="border: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" title="Hiking in Mongolia" width="600" /></a><br /><div class="wp-caption-text" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 2px; padding: 0px;">Hiking in Mongolia</div></div><div style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">Although nature dominates, history remains. Be sure to check out the Erdene Zuu Monastery in Kharkhorin. The most important Monastery in the country, it is the first Buddhist monastery in Mongolia which once had over 100 temples and 1,000 monks before the Communist purges in 1937. Like many other scared sites, not much was left standing after this era of destruction, but the Mongolians preserve what is left of their history with great pride.</div><div style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">What you hear about Mongolia, with its green hues, herds of wild horses and the golden desert expanse is true. For me, it was an experience like no other. I lost myself for three weeks as I travelled across its central and western lands that took in everything from lakes, deserts, forests, hot springs, waterfalls, melting glaciers and sparse flat lands. And with that I learnt to embrace the beauty that comes from simplicity and indulge in the overwhelming sense of liberation that comes only from standing in an uninhabited place.</div></div>

As we enter the building, we're immediately aware of the hotel's business credentials: not only does it host working visitors, it also doubles as an office block: offices occupy several floors. The lobby is spacious and brightly-lit with an upscale tower block feel, whilst check-in is brisk and helpful.

During hunting season, you might even be sharing breakfast with licensed high-end hunters. Europeans are scarce but welcome; most staff speak English. This is also an ideal option if, like me, you're a tourist looking for a quick burst of luxury before heading out into the desert for a few days, where you'll be thinking wistfully of hot showers and flushing toilets.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.996000289917px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.996000289917px;">The room</strong><br /><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.996000289917px;">Standard rooms combine warm tones with sleek design and views of Ulaanbaatar.

Try to catch a local performance in one of the nearby theatres: Ghenghis Khan the Opera is a fun watch full of local colour, even if we couldn't understand a word of it. It's also a steal at around £4. As mentioned, Blue Sky is a good starting point for a trip out to the desert, where you can stay in traditional gers and go horseriding with nomads. It's generally cheaper to book these via local hostels: we had a great private tour with local guide Bimba at LG Hostel tours.</div><div style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.996000289917px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"><strong>Details</strong></div><div style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.996000289917px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">Peace Avenue 17,<br />Sukhbaatar District,<br />1 khoroo,<br />Ulaanbaatar 14240<br />Mongolia<br />Tel: +976 7010 0505.<br />Website: <a class="external" href="http://www.hotelbluesky.mn/" style="color: #683999; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">www.hotelbluesky.mn</a><br />Prices start from $296 per night for two sharing a standard room.</div></div></div>
