Terelj & Khustai NP, Elsen Tasarkhai, Kharkhorin Tour (5 days)

Mongolia is the ultimate adventure destination in the sense of embracing all types of natural zones from sheer mountain ranges and ice glaciers to singing sand dunes and hot spring waters. Therefore, visit the two main natural zones that are included in this trip. First up the Terelj National Park; where nature is articulated in a great combination of sheer granite mountains, open fields, and river. Visit the tallest horseman-statue in the world, dedicated to Mongolian legendary emperor – Chinggis or Genghis Khan is also included in your convenience on the way to the next destination.

Although Khustai National Park is best known as a home to wild Przewalski horses, it is not the only attraction of the Park. Because the Park occupies such a vast territory, there is ample opportunity for various outdoor activities such as Takhi and bird watching, hiking, horse or camel riding, photo shooting and visiting ancient artifacts there.

Our next destination will be Karakorum city, which once served as the capital of the Mongolian Empire and an essential station of the Silk Road; and thus has much more to share than its current physical appearance. Mongolian largest and the historically most significant religious and cultural center – Erdenezuu monastery – is operating as a museum there. In contrast to Terelj, the next stop will be Elsen Tasarkhai, marvelous oasis with sand dunes, vegetations, lake and birds, an hour drive from the Karakorum.
