4 days
If you have short stay in Mongolia, we highly recommend this tour for you because during this tour, we will visit two of the nearest and unique national parks while witnessing Mongolian culture at nomad family, and exploring our capital city. It allows you to have a taste for both different natural areas, nomadic culture and urban life during your stay.
Itinerary:
Day 1: City tour
We will start our trip from the main Buddhist monastery in Mongolia- Gandan monastery. Later we will head to the National history museum of Mongolia, where you can gain great knowledge about our history and culture. Then, you can visit the central square- Sukhbaatar square and the government house before lunch. After having lunch, we will go to the Zaisan memorial for getting city view from the high spot. Your day will end with enjoying folklore show Tumen Ekh. However, please keep in mind that the show is only available from June to October.
Day 2: Terelj National Park
Terelj national Park is 60 kilometers east from Ulaanbaatar. Although it is quite close from the capital city, the landscape is very similar to Switzerland landscape. Except enjoying natural beauty, we will also visit to the biggest equestrian statue in the world—Chingis Khaan equestrian statue. Guess what! You can even go inside of the statue and go to the upper part of the statue.
Day 3: Nomad family stay
Mongolia has been a country of nomads for thousands of years. Nowadays one third of our population are still keeping nomadic lifestyle and taking care of their livestock. Nomadic people might have the best survival and adaptive skill in the world. They move at least four times a year in different seasons, harmonize with nature, take care of their livestock in very diverse and tough climate. On the third day, we will stay at Altanbulag area’s nomad family. Well, as Asians love saying, it’s Better to See Something Once Than to Hear About It a Thousand Times!
Day 4: Khustai National Park
Do you know Mongolia is a home of a wild horses? Mongolian Przewalski wild horses horses were transported to Europe for decades, severely threatening their survival as a species. Between 1992-2001, the Takhi (another term for Przewaslki) were reintroduced into Khustai National Park from Europe by a Dutch foundation Holland. A total of 84 Przewalski wild horses were brought 4 times. Currently, there are nearly 350 of these rare horses. In order to protect the wild horses, and other creatures, the park became a strictly enforced protected area. In this park, we can learn about Przewalski’s history, and see them in their natural environment.
