Nature and Nomadic Tours

Drive to the Genghis Khan's equestrian statue

In the morning we head out to the east for the world's largest equestrian statue. This place is also known as the uprising point "Genghis Khan". Genghis Khan, on his way back from a visit to Tooril Khan of Keraitas, found a whip at this place. Finding a whip is considered as a lucky charm for Mongolians. That being the case, the world's largest equestrian statue was built here. At the lookout point, we enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of its surroundings. After lunch, we drive to Ger-camp in the National Park. (Accommodation: Ger camp Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.)

We continue our journey by heading towards the "Baldan Breeven" monastery. After recovering in Ger-camp, we move towards to "Baldan Breeven" monastery. The monastery was constructed in 1777 and is one of the largest monastery complex in the country with 20 buildings and 4 schools. In this day, only the main monastery is left. Here, we trek in the vicinity of the monastery. Then we return to Ger-camp and have our dinner . (Accommodation: Ger camp Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.)

Erdenezuu and Karakorum

Today we travel east to Kharakhorum, which was the capital of the Genghis Khan's Mongol Empire between 1235 and 1260, and of the Northern Yuan in the 14-15th centuries. In the 13th century, the capital not only became the hub of the imperial administration and a center of trade and crafts through its tolerant attitude towards the new and unknown, but also a melting pot of different religions, cultures and peoples. After lunch in Ger-camp, we visit the "Kharakhorum" museum and we visit "Erdene Zuu" monastery on the way. (Accommodation: Ger camp Meals:  Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.)

It's a stopover point for migrating waterbirds of the family Anatidae. Also, it covers an area of 25.7 km2, 7.9 km long, 5.3 km wide, and almost half of the lake is less than 3 m deep. After our arrival in Ger-camp, we recover from the ride.
