Mongolia
Mongolia is a landlocked country located in East Asia, bordered by Russia to the north and China to the south. Known for its vast landscapes, nomadic culture, and unique wildlife, Mongolia is a photographer's paradise. From the Gobi Desert to the Altai Mountains, there are countless photography locations to explore. The country's rugged terrain, clear skies, and stunning sunsets make it an ideal destination for landscape and nature photographers. Additionally, the traditional nomadic lifestyle of the Mongolian people provides a fascinating subject for cultural and portrait photography.
