    Erdene Zuu Monastery

    Expanse over a large area, this Monastery is among the biggest one in Mongolia. A mostly intact Mongolian (Tibetan) Buddhist monastery. The wall paintings are particularly worth seeing in the Western and Eastern Temples. A short walk from the rear is the famous tortoise and the site of Karakoram (really nothing left to see). As it is a long way from Ulaanbaatar it’s best combined with other nearby attractions. This monastery can be dated back to 1585, built from the ruins of Genghis Khan's ancient capital. Today, it is still used as an active monastery. It‘s amazing to be on time to listen to the soothing chant of the Head Priest, who seeing the large number of devotees. The moment he started the chant, everyone was in a sort of meditation swaying their bodies in rhythm with the chant. One should visit this monastery and try and synchronize it with the chant timing.

    Kharkhorin

    Great introduction to the history of Mongolia. The top two floors are particularly interesting with a beautiful array of national costumes. The only drawback would be the lack of English information. An english speaking guide through this museum would have been great. This is a great place packed with knowledge. There is information from "a" to "z", anything you could possibly want to know about Mongolia, its culture, history, heritage. It is very well organized, has lots of lots of exhibitions and displays. Traditional clothing, ger culture, history of Mongolia through all the ages, the way to democracy, musical instruments, every day accessories and many many more. Definitely recommended to pay it a visit!

    Elsen Tasarkhai

    We called it Elsen Tasarkhai, only sand dunes we could find between Kharkhorin and Ulaanbaatar. You may experienced and felt what the Gobi Desert would be like. It lays one of the mixture of most unique and beautiful landscape of lake, rocky mountains and sand dunes.

    Hustai National Park

    Hustai National Park is truly an unforgettable experience deserving a solid five-star rating. The park’s stunning natural beauty and the impressive display of wildlife, particularly the Przewalski’s horses, made the trip a phenomenal adventure. A highlight of Hustai National Park is undoubtedly the opportunity to see Przewalski’s horses in their natural habitat. This endangered species of wild horse, preserved and protected in the park, is a sight to behold. Observing these majestic animals roam freely in the wilderness was a humbling and awe-inspiring experience. Here to spot the wild horses, takhis as many herd. The management of the park is the responsibility of an NGO. The arrangement is very effective. Beyond the captivating wildlife, the natural landscape of the park itself is breathtakingly beautiful. The rolling hills, dotted with various flora, offer a serene and tranquil environment that makes you feel at one with nature.
