Upon your arrival at Ulaanbaatar International Airport, you will be warmly met and greeted by our team before transferring to your hotel for check-in and some time to refresh. We then begin our city tour with a visit to Sukhbaatar Square, the vibrant heart of the capital, surrounded by key government buildings and cultural landmarks. From here, we continue on foot to the nearby Chinggis Khan National Museum, where the highlight is the impressive pure golden statue of the Great Khan, inaugurated in March 2025, offering deep insight into Mongolia’s rich imperial history. After lunch, we proceed to Gandan Monastery, the country’s most important active Buddhist center, home to the towering Migjid Janraisig statue and a peaceful complex where monks continue their daily prayers, providing a glimpse into Mongolia’s spiritual life. Later, we enjoy a Mongolian traditional folklore performance featuring throat singing, long-song vocals, contortion, and traditional dance. The day concludes with dinner and an overnight stay at the hotel.

After breakfast, we head to the Chinggis Khan Equestrian Statue, the world’s largest equestrian statue, soaring 40 meters high and recognized by Guinness World Records, where visitors can explore its museum, view artifacts from the Mongol era, and enjoy sweeping views from the observation deck atop the horse’s head. We then drive to Terelj National Park, famed for its dramatic granite rock formations, alpine meadows, pine forests, and clear rivers, offering a refreshing contrast to the open steppe. Upon arrival, we check in to the ger camp and have lunch, followed by an afternoon exploration visiting the iconic Turtle Rock, the natural symbol of the park, and the serene Aryapala Meditation Temple, nestled on a mountainside and offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. We also visit a local nomad family to learn about traditional herding life, customs, and daily routines, before enjoying an hour of horse riding through the scenic valleys after safety instructions from the guide. In the evening, we return to the ger camp for dinner and an overnight stay immersed in nature.
