Centuries after the reign of Genghis Khan, Mongolia’s nomadic lifestyle and rugged terrain fill the imagination of many travelers seeking their next adventure...our Street View cars included.

In Ulaanbaatar today, we kicked off collection of imagery at a ceremony with the city’s mayor. A pick-up truck equipped with Google Trekker will explore the streets of the capital before heading to the steppe to bring imagery of Mongolia’s vast and beautiful landscapes to people around the globe.

For those of you who can’t wait, we’ve already added panoramic Street View imagery of a few sites around the capital, including the 13th Century Complex, Genghis Khan Equestrian Statue and Genghis Khan Square.

Were also working with the National Museum of Mongolia, the Bogd Khaan Palace and the Zanazabar Museum of Fine Arts to put their exhibits onto the Google Cultural Institute. Very soon, more people from around the world will be able to admire and learn more about Mongolia’s rich cultural heritage with the click of a mouse.
