This tour features an uncommon and
memorable journey to Mongolia -- a journey that takes you
back in time, where pristine panorama and ancient nomadic heritage abound.
Ulaanbaatar is situated on the bank of the Tuul River and spreads
from east to west along a large wide valley. The city is
surrounded by the four
mountains: Bogd Khan, Songino Khairkhan, Chingeltei and Bayanzurkh,
part of the beautiful and pristine Khan Khentii mountain range.
The combination of
these pine covered mountains, wide boulevards, vast public squares
and parks give the city a feeling of spaciousness, while the Ger
communities, Buddhist temples, and bustling marketplaces give it a
rustic charm. Nowhere in the world is there a city of such
rich contrasts. In the uniqueness which is Ulaanbaatar, ancient
nomadic culture peacefully coexists with the dynamic changes of
modern society.
Our tour invites our guests to
Mongolia's signature landmarks. Just to name a few, they include the
Bogd Khan National Park, a sacred place to the Mongolians and
probably one
of the oldest nature preserves in the world;Mandshir Monastery, located in the luxuriant valley of the
Bogd Khan Mountain, established in 1733;
Gandan Monastery, the largest
and most important monastery of Mongolia; and the Terelj National Park, a spectacular
river valley with eroded rock formations, pine-covered mountains and
grasslands carpeted with perennial wildflowers and edelweiss. Your tour includes all meals and private transfers and sightseeing.
