📍 Destination Overview
Terelj (Gorkhi-Terelj National Park), 70km northeast of Ulaanbaatar, is among Mongolia's most popular sights. See Turtle Rock, the gilded Genghis Khan equestrian statue (world's largest) and the meditation monastery atop 108 steps. The landscape blends granite peaks, steppe and forests; horse-ride across the grassland and sleep in a ger under starry skies.
