Quick update, 24 July 2015 - if you're looking for the imagery, check out
this post :)

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.
We're 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.

I'm thrilled to see Mongolia now on Street View and looking forward to seeing more from the Mongolian countryside--the spectacular scenery, the nomadic lifestyle, the beautiful Mongolian children, the gers inside and out, the horses, the sheep, the goats, the cows and yaks, the camels, the mountains and the steppes. Having lived there for more than 3 years and now back in America, the country draws me back each year to visit these wonderfully hospitable people and to work together to address the many challenges this country faces.
Great job! I can't wait to see more imagery! I will then be able to see online all the places we did not have time to see a couple of years ago! Mongolia is a beautiful country, rich in History and Mongolians are really warm and lovely people! Loved it and I can't wait to see more of it!
