Tour overview

Gorkhi–Terelj National Park
Just 70 km from Ulaanbaatar, Gorkhi–Terelj National Park is one of Mongolia’s most popular natural getaways. The park is known for its forested mountains, dramatic granite formations shaped by centuries of wind and rain, and wide valleys filled with wildflowers. It offers ideal conditions for hiking, horseback riding, rock climbing, and wildlife observation, making it a favorite destination for travelers seeking both relaxation and outdoor adventure.

Main Highlights:

Turtle Rock (Melkhii Khad)
A well-known landmark of Terelj, Turtle Rock is a naturally sculpted formation that resembles a giant turtle. It is a popular place for photos, short walks, and enjoying the surrounding scenery. Nearby, visitors can take short horse or camel rides through the beautiful valley.

Ariyabal Meditation Temple
Located on a hillside above Terelj, this serene Buddhist temple provides a quiet retreat with sweeping views of the national park. To reach it, visitors cross a suspension bridge and walk up a symbolic staircase of 108 steps, representing prayer beads. It is a meaningful and rewarding experience for those seeking peace and reflection.

Nomadic Family Visit
A visit to a local herder family offers a glimpse into Mongolia’s traditional nomadic lifestyle. Guests can learn about daily routines, livestock care, and try homemade dairy products such as airag, curds, or milk tea. It’s an authentic cultural encounter that connects travelers with local traditions.

Genghis Khan Statue Complex
Rising 40 meters above the steppe, the Genghis Khan Statue is the world’s largest equestrian statue and a powerful symbol of Mongolia’s history. Located just 54 km from the city, the complex includes a museum, cultural exhibits, and souvenir shops. Visitors can take an elevator up through the statue to a viewing platform on the horse’s head for an incredible panorama over the vast open landscape.
