Overview

If you’re looking for historical and cultural travel experience out in Mongolia’s pristine nature, this is the trip for you! Imagine yourself transported back to the 12th and 13th centuries to the birthplace of Temujin, where he grew up and became Chinggis Khan in 1206 after uniting various warring nomadic tribes of the eastern Eurasian steppe on the Mongolian plateau before founding the largest contiguous land empire in the world. This is a pivotal time in world history that would change the face of Earth for hundreds of years to come. During the Mongol Empire’s peak, there was a period historians refer to as “Pax Mongolica” when there was relative peace amongst conquered nations under one rule, facilitating trade and exchange of ideas across the Silk Road between eastern and western cultures. You will also get a chance to see how Mongolian nomads are living today with their large herds of livestock. The tradition of animal husbandry and pastoral nomadic lifestyle has not changed much since the time of Chinggis Khan.

Day 2 Drive to the Khukh Lake via Chinggis Khan statue

Drive 54 km east from Ulaanbaatar, the capital, to the Chinggis Khan statue complex. It is a 40-meter (130 ft) tall, stainless-steel statue of mounted Chinggis Khan and the world’s largest equestrian statue. Once you go inside, there is a souvenir shop, restaurant, and small museum. A lift takes you to a flight of stairs leading up to back of the horse’s head where you can get a panoramic view of the surrounding steppe. Afterwards, drive further east to the Khukh Lake (Blue Lake) where Temujin was enthroned as “Khan” of united nomadic tribes of Mongolia and given the title “Chinggis Khan” in 1189.
