You leave Ulaanbaatar at 9:00 am with a Mongolian driver for the 100 km ride to Aglag Creation Temple in Töv. Plan for about two hours each way, a forest walk, Buddhist carvings, mountain views, and free time to explore. The private car costs $105 for up to three people, but food, entry, water, and a guide are extra.

“Excellent time at Aglag! Driver was on time and we arrived at Aglag in about two hours. We had two full hours to explore the buildings but more importantly the grounds and carvings. Drive back was a but longer due to the infamous UB traffic. All in all, great value for money. Highly recommended.”
