Switzerland

Switzerland has it all. Alpine grandeur reflected in shimmering lakes between verdant valleys with a scattering of chic cities. It has the Eiger, Matterhorn and Piz Palü. It offers a wide range of winter and summer sports, from easy to exacting. The less energetic can take Europe's highest mountain railway to the Jungfraujoch and the only UNESCO World Natural Heritage in the Alps. This is also culture country - medieval castles abound and the Benedictine Abbey and St Gallen Stift Library are veritable treasure troves. Old traditions - rustic and rugged - live side-by-side with top trends and technology. There is chocolate, cheese & cuckoo clocks. Not to forget the legendary Swiss watch and trains that turn up on time! Oh yes, stunning Switzerland has it all.

Ulaanbaatar city of Mongoplia

Ulaanbaatar was founded in 1639. Zanabazar, son of Tusheet Khaan Gombodorj, the most powerful and influental among Khalka's Khaans was proclaimed as the religious leader of Mongolia due to the strong influence of Buddhism in the country. And a special monastery complex was built for him as headquarters. The headquarters became the foundation of the former Urgoo (means palace), present Ulaanbaatar. The city hosts the only international airport of the country and single international rail line. The Trans Siberian railway goes across the city from the north to the south. Ulaanbaatar, with approximately a million of population, is the country's economic, cultural and political center and has a number of tourist's attractions and hosts most varied types of entertainment. Ulaanbaatar is located on the bank of Tuul river and sorrounded by four sacred mountains with dense pine forest on the northern slopes and grassy steppes on the south. Mostly described, as sunny, peaceful and open, Ulaanbaatar is city of contrast where modern life comfortably blends with Mongolian traditional lifestyle.
