About This Trip

Embark on the 4-day immersive adventure to uncover the legendary heritage of Mongolia, once the mighty ruler of the Eurasian steppes. The journey begins at the National Museum of Mongolian History, where 60,000 artifacts—from Stone Age tools to Genghis Khan-era weaponry—chronicle the rise and fall of a nomadic empire. In downtown Ulaanbaatar, marvel at the 12-meter gilded Genghis Khan statue at Chinggis Khaan Square, then pay tribute at the Sukhbaatar Memorial, honoring Mongolia’s independence hero. Explore Gandan Monastery, where Mongolian, Tibetan, and Chinese architectural styles converge, housing hundreds of Thangka paintings and a colossal Tsongkhapa statue amid monks’ chants. Step into history at the Bogd Khan Palace Museum, where the Summer Palace’s Han-style eaves, Tibetan golden roofs, and yurt motifs blend. The Winter Palace displays imperial treasures like dragon robes and the 8th Bogd Khan’s personal artworks. In Gorkhi-Terelj National Park, ride horses to the mystical “Turtle Rock,” pose with eagles, and enjoy stone-grilled mutton in a ger under stars. The trip culminates atop the 30-meter Genghis Khan Statue, offering a 360° steppe panorama—a timeless bridge between Mongolia’s past and present.

This tour itinerary seamlessly blends Mongolia’s cultural essence, architectural marvels, and untamed landscapes, offering an unforgettable odyssey through time and nature.

After breakfast, begin your exploration tour from the National Museum of Mongolia. Founded in 1924, the museum spans three floors. The first floor features exhibits from Mongolian Stone Age sites, the second floor houses a vast collection of traditional ethnic costumes, and the third floor showcases representative artifacts of Mongolian nomadic culture, including 12th-century armor and precious correspondence between Mongol khans and the Roman Pope. With approximately 60,000 historical, cultural, and ethnological artifacts, it serves as a vital gateway to understanding Mongolia’s history and culture. Chinggis Khaan Square, formerly known as Sukhbaatar Square, was officially renamed in July 2013. Located in the heart of Ulaanbaatar, the square faces the State Palace to the north, which houses the offices of the President, government, and parliament of Mongolia, and features a majestic seated statue of Genghis Khan. The nest stop is The Sukhbaatar Memorial. It stands at the very center of Chinggis Khaan Square (formerly Sukhbaatar Square), commemorating this founding father of modern Mongolia. The monument is inscribed with traditional Mongolian script.

In the afternoon, visit the famous Gandan Monastery. With a history spanning nearly 200 years, it was constructed under the supervision of its abbot at the time and now stands as one of Mongolia’s most renowned attractions. Behind the Ochirdara Temple, there is a colossal statue of Tsongkhapa (the founder of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism). Continuing along the main path to its end, visitors will encounter the magnificent Migjid Janraisig Sud hall, which houses hundreds of paintings of Amitayus Buddha (the Buddha of Infinite Life), along with numerous smaller Buddha statues. Today’s tour concludes at the Bogd Khan Palace Museum. Comprising both a Summer Palace and a Winter Palace, this museum was originally the residence and religious center of the 8th Bogd Khan, Jebtsundamba Khutughtu (1870–1924). The Summer Palace, constructed in 1893, blends architectural styles of Mongolian-Tibetan and Chinese influences. It houses nearly 10,000 cultural relics, including personal belongings of the Bogd Khan, religious artifacts, and traditional paintings, making it a vital site for understanding the history, religion, and architectural art of late imperial Mongolia.

After breakfast, you will head to the scenic spots on the outskirts of Ulaanbaatar. Located approximately 70 kilometers east of Mongolia’s capital, Gorkhi-Terelj National Park is a nature reserve nestled within the Khentii Mountains. Established in 1993, it spans 290,000 hectares and features a unique composite ecosystem where mountains, forests, and grasslands intertwine. The park is traversed by the Tuul and Terelj Rivers, creating stunning valley landscapes, while its iconic Turtle Rock, resembling a giant turtle, is regarded as a symbol of mystical power. You can enjoy horseback riding, hiking, and traditional ger (yurt) accommodations, as well as savor authentic stone-grilled meat. Summer offers the best visiting conditions, while winter provides special experiences like ice climbing, making it an ideal destination to experience Mongolia’s natural and cultural charm.

The Genghis Khan Equestrian Statue is one of Mongolia’s most famous landmarks and a symbol of Mongolian national culture and history. Crafted from stainless steel, the statue gleams with a silver radiance. Its meticulous design captures Genghis Khan’s majestic demeanor, holding a golden whip as if riding forward and gazing into the distance. Visitors can explore the interior of the statue’s base, which houses a museum and exhibitions showcasing Genghis Khan’s life, Mongolian history, and traditional culture. At the top, an observation deck accessible by elevator offers panoramic views of the surrounding vast steppe and breathtaking scenery.

    This is the second time we plan a trip with Best Asia Tours and we love their service and attention to detail as well as their willingness to make your trip memorable and anything you want possible. Their planning is impecable and very efficient and if anything is not as you expected they will work to make sure it is. we did a 21 day itinerary for 7 including 2 grandmas back on 2018 and we just went back a couple of weeks ago with our daughter for 12 days and had an awesome time. We are already planning the next one. Zoe and Eric who had help us with the travel planning were both amazing their speed to comeback with the itineraries and changes is impressive and not matter how many times you ask them to look at changes or different hotels etc they are always willing to help with the most wonderful attitude . All the guides we had on the different cities and regions have be incredible . I can not recommend them enough. I have traveled al over the world and they are definitively on the top service of the agencies I had used.

    Best Asia Tours did a really good job planning our itinerary in Japan. Some times we had issues coming up I think mostly related to cultural differences, but our agent was amazing and went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we were comfortable and the trip was perfect. The hotels are centrally located, very easy to access to the city center. The guide and driver are friendly and nice. We spend a pleasant and amazing journey there.

    The trip was great and our agent performed great. We were pleasantly surprised with how responsive they were and with the trip that they planned. Very professional. A previous agent told us we couldn’t pull off a trip with so many stops but it was not a problem and the pace of the trip was good for us. We don’t like sitting still in one spot for too long. The guides in each city did well and a couple were excellent.
