Welcome to Mongolia, a legendary landlocked country located in central Asia, which is renowned for its vast grasslands, abundant mineral resources, and unique nomadic culture.

Upon your arrival at Ulaanbaatar International Airport, you’ll be warmly greeted by our local guide and be transferred to your hotel.

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.
