About this activity
Itinerary
Day 1: Terelj National Park including Statue of Genghis Khan.
Stop At: Gorkhi-Terelj National Park, Ulaanbaatar Mongolia
You will be leaving the city early in the morning to take advantage of the better asphalt road to arrive at Chonjinboldog area where Chinggis Khan Monument is located within an hour.
You will see true nomadic lifestyle as soon as you travel outside of the city of Ulaanbaatar. Chinggis Khan Monument is an extremely tall stainless steel statue of Ghengiis Khaan approximately 1 hour drive away from Ulaanbaatar. You may take an elevator ride up to the horse neck with spectacular view of the surrounding countryside. There is also a small archaeology museum in the base of the statue as well as a decent restaurant along with ubiquitous souvenir shops. You may try on traditional Mongolian costumes at the museum. After Chinggis Khan Monument, you will head to Terelj National Park which is the most accessible natural attraction from Ulaanbaatar. Hiking, horseback riding, and rafting are the most popular activities in the park. Terelj National Park has many excellent rock formations for rock including two famous formations named for things they resemble: "Turtle Rock" or "Melkhii Khad" in Mongolian and "the Old Man Reading a Book" or "Praying Lama Rock." You will enjoy lunch at Turtle Rock. After lunch, hike to Aryabal Monastery via a decent path and enjoy beautiful scenery along the way. In the evening, you will visit a nomad family to experience Mongolian lifestyle and hospitality

Day 2: Hustai National Park
Stop At: Hustai National Park, Ulaanbaatar 13 Mongolia
After we get up early in the morning, we’re going to the special reserve area to spot wild horses while having morning water in a well.. It’s easier to find them before the sun is up, otherwise they can be hidden in the forest.
Khustain Nuruu National Park, also known as Hustai National Park, is a large conservation area in Central Mongolia’s Töv Province. It’s known for its population of wild takhi (Przewalski's horse) and its ger (yurt) camps. Trails lead across the steppe to the remote Moilt camp. In the park’s southwest, the Ungut monuments are a collection of ancient Turkic stone figures and Bronze Age rock carvings.
Duration: 5 hours
Stop At: Elsen Tasarkhai, Rashaant, Mongolia
The Gobi desert is far away for a short weekend or a day's visit; therefore, this "semi-Gobi" in central Mongolia is your chance to experience desert life. Imagine a picture that consists of the Rocky Mountains in the back, sand dunes extending over dunes, green trees in and by the dunes, and a river flowing along the dunes.
