“This tour turned out to include both the Ghengis Khaan statue and the highlights of Terelj Park...in addition to three hours of horse back riding, which was perfect. I did not like the statue very much but it is a must see when in UB so I am glad I checked it off the list. Turtle Rock was nice to see but by far the best thing was riding through the park on the horses. The man managing the horses was quite a character and the landscape truly beautiful. This was the highlight of my stay in Mongolia. Definitely go horseback riding while you are there.”

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.
