Review of Ulaanbaatar’s Genghis Khan statue and Terelj day tour, with camel riding, eagle photos, lunch in a ger, and practical tips.

“First the negatives, had a bit of an issue with the booking which was attempted to be moved last minute. however this did not fit with my plans. so little bit of confusion. Now the main experience, the locations were nice enough but what really made the tour for me was the people you meet on the tour and the energy of the guide. Both were great and guide was very talkative (English) which was great. Mongolian lunch was really well enjoyed also and loved how they threw in number of extras along the way. The main event with the statue I feel is worth to see. the price felt…”

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.”

Ulaanbaatar: Traditional Music and Dance Performance Ticket

15.Traditional Music and Dance Performance Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 67 reviews · from $69

See throat singing, contortion, dance, and live traditional music in Ulaanbaatar during this colorful 90-minute Mongolian show.

“The theater may be small, but the show is absolutely vibrant and captivating! Each performance segment is kept short, giving the audience a taste of different forms of Mongolian traditional art before smoothly moving on to the next. This pacing keeps the entire program lively and engaging without ever feeling drawn out. Do note that the theater is on the second floor and there’s no elevator. Guests in wheelchairs may need to consider whether they’re comfortable with the staff carrying them upstairs. In our case, my mother was warmly assisted by the troupe’s team, who couldn’t have been more kind and enthusiastic—an unforgettable part of the experience in itself!Read more”
