1.Terelj National Park: Tour with horse riding and hiking

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 46 reviews · 2 days · from $299Our pick

Leave Ulaanbaatar for Terelj National Park with an English-speaking guide such as Batmaa or Togi. Visit Turtle Rock, Aryabala Meditation Temple, a nomadic family, and the Chinggis Khan Statue Complex. You’ll also ride a Mongolian horse for 40 minutes, sleep in a ger guesthouse, and eat organic local meals.

“My tour with Batmaa, the tour guide, and Battogtokh, the driver, was most enjoyable. The planned activities were informative, and the tour guide was excellent. As I was the only guest, the tour guide adapted the schedule to make sure that I got the most out of the trip. I asked about a whole day's horse ride, and Batmaa booked this for the following day, and it was a wonderful experience. Also, she helped me to book a taxi ride to the airport at a very good price. Thank you so much, Batmaa and Battogtokh, for a memorable trip.”
