Tour Schedule

After arriving in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, we will drive a couple of hours from the city to Terelj National Park. Terelj National Park is located within the beautiful Mongolian mountains and we will get to experience the beautiful scenery and outstanding natural rock formations. After sightseeing landscapes, we will go on a horse-riding trip that is designed for tourists. Your first day of the trip will be a serene day at Terelj, a great introduction to Mongolia.

Then we will leave the city and travel to Ugii lake, which is a lake that is designated as the Ramsar Site of Importance and is known for its fish and birdlife.

Then we will travel to Karakorum. Karakorum was the capital of Mongolia during the 13th century. Here you can see the remains of the Mongol empire from the 13th century and visit the Karakorum museum to examine the relics and artifacts from Mongolia’s history. Then we will tour Erdene Zuu Monastery, the oldest monastery in Mongolia that was built in 1586. This ceremonious place of worship showcases the true artisanship of ancient Mongolian architects.

Then we will drive to Khustai National Park, which is the habitat of essential Mongolian wildlife and plant life. Khustai Nuruu is home to over 667 species of plants, lichens, moss, and mushrooms. In addition, there are 385 species of insects and 279 species of animals, including fish, mammals, and birds. The main attraction will be to see the rare and endangered wild horse Takhi, also known as Przewalski’s Horse. If we are lucky we may get to experience the sights of a Mongolian wolf, wild deer, Eurasian lynx, golden eagle, and the Mongolian gazelle. After lunch, we will also go on a horse riding tour of Khustai with a local family.

Once we end our trip through the wilderness of Mongolia, we will return to the capital city, and then you will have free time to relax, go shopping, go sightseeing, and prepare for your departure back home.
