★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 74 reviews · from $83Top rated

Review of a Terelj National Park day trip from Ulaanbaatar, with the Chinggis Khan statue, Aryabal Temple, ger lunch, transport, and practical tips.

“Had a very pleasant day trip with our guide Khulan. She spoke English very fluently and gave us a lot of useful tips to navigate around Mongolia - from shopping, food, etc. The tour was very good - from the Chinggis Khan Museum, Lunch with Nomadic Family, Turtle Rock, and the Aryapabal Temple - had amazing time seeing the breathtaking view of Mongolia landscape. It was a semi private trip - me and a friend, and also another person. So it was the 3 of us and the guide - perfect, convenient, and not too crowded. I highly recommend this tour especially our guide Khulan.”

Review of a Ulaanbaatar day trip to the Chinggis Khan Statue, Terelj National Park, Turtle Rock, Aryabal Temple, and a ger lunch.

“Without doubt the best guided tour on our 10 day trip to Mongolia. Our guide was extremely friendly and skilled, and made sure everyone was comfortable. I'm vegetarian, and he made sure that I had proper food during our lunch break (it can be hard to find in rural Mongolia!). You also get a LOT for the price you pay for this tour. Will book with this agency again the next time I visit Mongolia. :)”
