Mongolia

For good reason, the name 'Mongolia' has always evoked visions of the untamed - Genghis Khan, camels wandering the Gobi Desert and wild horses galloping across the steppes. But for a more rounded picture, don't forget cyber-cafes, herders chatting on mobile phones, chic cocktail bars and eco-yurts.
