Today, immerse yourself in the natural and cultural treasures of Mongolia. Begin your day by venturing to Terelj National Park, a place where nature’s beauty meets geological wonder. The famous Turtle Rock, known as Melkhii Khad, is a must-see—a 24-meter (79 feet) high granite formation resembling a turtle. Surrounded by majestic pine-covered mountains, this iconic rock formation offers fantastic opportunities for photography against a stunning backdrop.
Afterward, make your way to the awe-inspiring Chinggis Khaan Statue Complex, an absolute highlight of your journey. Standing at an impressive 131 feet (40 meters), this colossal equestrian statue of Genghis Khan is one of the largest in the world. The statue, which commemorates the legacy of Mongolia’s greatest ruler, towers above the landscape, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding steppe. You can even climb to the observation deck inside the horse’s head to get a panoramic view of the area, connecting you to the historic grandeur of the Mongol Empire.
In the evening, travel to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia’s vibrant capital. After a day of exploration and adventure, check into your hotel in the city for a restful night. Ulaanbaatar is a mix of modernity and tradition, and you may wish to explore its bustling streets, local markets, or enjoy a quiet evening in one of its cozy restaurants.
