Explore Terelj National Park in two days with Turtle Rock, horse riding, ger lodging, nomadic culture, and the Chinggis Khan Statue.
“Batmaa and her husband the driver were great hosts. The tour was over two days, while it probably would be possible to see most of the sights of Terelj in a day, doing it over two days was much better, staying over at a guesthouse in the park even allowed me to hike to a nearby hill and see the sunrise. Batmaa also answered the many questions I kept asking and was able to give a lot of background info on various sites. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour especially if you are only in Mongolia for a short time but still want to see the countryside.”
