Highlights
This excursion to two national parks a short distance away from the capital is an excellent extension to any trip whether you just want to see the unique settings of Terelj and Gun Galuut, unwind and play after a hard trek, or explore some of the landscapes of Central Mongolia after a trip to the Gobi or the far west.
Itinerary
Ulaanbaatar – Mongol Nomads – Khustai Nuruu
Hustai National Park
Admission Ticket FreeWe meet our local guide at the hotel lobby, as we drive back in time, to a place that recreates the lives of Mongolian nomads at the beginning of the 20th century. This was when Mongolia gained its independence from the Qing Dynasty and established itself as a reemerging nation under a living god-king. Here we shall attend a demonstration of how the nomads lived their lives during this era, and learn about some traditions that are carried on to this very day. After lunch in the camp we arrive at Khustaiin Nuruu Strictly Protected Area (SPA). The SPA was established as part of a unique project to reintroduce the world’s last surviving wild horses back to their natural environment. On the brink of extinction during the last century, only a very few Takhi or Przewalski’s horses were left in zoos around Europe. This graceful steppe horse was returned to Mongolia, and today, thanks to this special project, two herds again roam the Mongolian steppes.- AccommodationsOvernight in a ger camp, traditional felt-made dwellings the nomads of Central Asia often refer to as yurt.Food And DrinksDinner
Khustaiin Nuruu – Terelj National Park
Gorkhi Terelj National Park
Admission Ticket FreeWe retrace our footsteps back to Ulaanbaatar. But rather than pause in the city, we continue our journey east, for another one and a half hours’ drive to Gorki-Terelj National Park. The park features unique rock formations, scenic valleys, a winding river, and restful groves of trees. Many nomads live in the park itself, where they find good grazing for their animals. If time permits, we will take a short hike to a nearby hill, from where we watch the sun set over the park (weather permitting of course).- AccommodationsWe will spend the night in a ger camp in the park.Food And DrinksBreakfastLunchDinner
In Terelj National Park
Ariyabal Meditation Temple
Admission Ticket FreeThis morning we take an easy hike to the famous Turtle Rock, a symbol of wisdom and longevity to the Mongolian people. We then continue hiking to Ariabal Temple. The temple has been recently reconstructed, after the original temple had been destroyed during the communist purges of the 1930’s. A site of great tranquility, it functions today as a meditation center to Buddhist monks. After lunch, we take an afternoon horseback riding trip through the rolling hills and vast open meadows of the park.- AccommodationsWe revert to our ger camp in the park’s vicinity, where we spend a second night.Food And DrinksBreakfastLunchDinner
Terelj National Park – Chinggis Khan Monument – Ulaanbaatar
Genghis Khan Statue Complex
Admission Ticket FreeWe leave the park, and drive to the newly constructed Ghengis Khan Monument. Rising 40 meters in height over the surrounding steppes, this mighty structure plays a major symbol to the renewing Mongolian nation, after more than 300 years of foreign sovereignty over its people and territory. We climb up this gigantic monument for a view over the Great Khan’s motherland, and then visit the elaborate exhibition showcasing some fascinating historic findings. In the afternoon we drive back to Ulaanbaatar, where we say farewell to our guide and driver as they would bring us back to the hotel in the city.- Food And DrinksBreakfastLunch
