MONGOLIA HIGHLIGHTS  - 5 days/ 4nights (MGO)

Ulaan Baatar / Mandshir

Private Tour - Daily Departure

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.
