Working Through a Pandemic
Covid-19 has forever changed life as we know it. To date, Covid-19 has claimed over 200,000 lives and counting in the US alone and has infected approximately 7.1 million US citizens.

Take a Walk on the Wild Side by Exploring the Countryside A few things you might want to see: National parks: There are numerous national parks around the country, each with their own unique attributes. Gorkhi Terelj National Park is closest to UB, featuring amazing mountain views, some Buddhist temples and meditation centers, some unique archeological features and plenty of tourist camps—both lodges and ger camps—to enjoy the countryside.
