Day 2 Terelj National Park
Terelj National park is our last sight of travel. That place is recognized as a part of the huge Khan Khentii reserve and was established as a Strictly Protected Area in 1992. The park’s most spectacular features are its huge granite blocks and cliffs as well as meadows rich in wild flowers. Terelj offers fascinating rock formations against a background of pine covered mountains. The average elevation is about 1600 m., with peaks reaching 2900 m. The park is rich in flora and fauna and reminds of beautiful Alpine valleys. The distance from Ulaanbaatar is nearly 50 km. Its green meadows carpeted with Edelweiss and a dazzling variety of other wild flowers attract nature lovers. Typical round rock masses determine the look of the overwhelming nature. It is a wonderful hiking and horse riding area. You can visit a nomad’s family or just let yourself be absorbed in the silence of nature. (B+L+D)
Day 3 Tsonjin Boldog
The statue is built on Tsonjin Boldog hill, 53-km (33-miles) from Ulaanbaatar. The hill is located next to Chinggis Hairkhan, one of Mongolia’s sacred mountains. The site of the monument has special significance in the history of Mongolia. In 1177, Temuujin (Chinggis Khaan’s given name), was on his way back home after meeting Tooril, the ruler of the Hereid region. As Temuujin rode home he came across a horse whip lying on a hill. According to Mongolian customs, the horse whip is a symbol of great luck, especially at the beginning of a venture. Having just forged a partnership with Tooril, Temuujin saw the discovery as an auspicious symbol of the future success of his efforts to reunite the Mongol tribes.Temuujin named the hill Tsonjin Boldog, recognizing it as a place where one could literally see their future(B+L+D)
