Visit Mongolia in July for Naadam-- as colorful as the Olympics. Visit nomads in their gers, and go out into pastures to help herd livestock. Ride horses and camels. Go north to Lake Khovskol and south into the Gobi Desert. Bounce over the roughest roads of your life--but have the time of your life! Finally, fly up to Siberia. Visit historic Irkutsk. Cruise Lake Baikal, and ride the Trans-Siberian Railway through tunnels of the "Golden Buckle."
