Meeting
The gigantic steel equine statue mounted by Genghis Khan himself is the largest statue of an equestrian in the world. This 40 m tall statue is located on a hillside on the bank of the Tuul River in an area called Tsonjin Boldog and connected to capital Ulaanbaatar by 54 km paved road. Tsonjin Boldog was chosen according to the legend that Genghis Khan found a whip in this area. In Mongolia, people believe that man finding a whip is a sign of fortune, good destiny, and occasion. The statue faces east, the direction of Genghis Khan's birthplace, and the sunrise. If you stretch your eyes to the east, you will see a small statue of his mother greeting him.
Gorkhi terelj national park and we are going to hike the turtle rock
Turtle Rock, ”Melkhii Khad”, is a surprising granitic formation, 24 metres (79 feet) high, whose form reminds of a turtle. Its old name was Mungut Khad. Located at the foothills of a mountain covered of pines, this rocky formation is incontestably a photo opportunity while you’re on the road for Terelj. There, it’s possible to rent horses, and during the summer, you can also find souvenirs’ sellers. It’s a good starting point for a small walk (about one hour) that will lead you until the centre of meditation of Aryaval or in the most remote places of the park. If you move a few kilometres forward on the main road that leads to Terelj Village, you will also be able to see on your right the formation called ”the old man reading”.
t’s located within Gorkhi-Terelj National Park, about 10 kilometres (6,21 miles) from the entrance. From the turtle rock, you can make a pleasant hike (about 45 minutes). Located on the hillside of a mountain covered with larches and granite rock, Aryaval meditation centre will delight the travellers. To reach the temple, you will have to pass a small wooden bridge on which a sign tells: ”the bridge that leads beyond wisdom”. The main temple is dedicated to Kalachakra philosophy, ”wheel of time”. The temple contains a thangka representing the myth of the Shambhala (a thangka is a painting on cotton or silk; Shambhala is, according to Buddhist philosophy, a fabulous place hidden somewhere in Asia), a Kalachakra mandala, and other objects bound to this belief. On the ground floor of this building, you can admire a ”gallery of Buddhist philosophy”, with 220 original paintings of the artist Bayantsagaan representing the different belief and Buddhist philosophy.

Thoroughly enjoyed this day-trip tour from Ulaanbaatar. The Chinggis Khan monument and Gorkhi-Terelj National Park are not to be missed for an itinerary for Mongolia’s capital city area. Dorj was our tour guide, and he did a wonderful job teaching the history of the sites, driving the bus, and taking care of us all day. I recommend this tour.
Baga was a great guide. Witty, knowledgeable and fun. Other travel mates were amazing as well. Overall a neatly designed itinerary and it was bang for the bucks! Anyone having double thoughts, just go ahead and you won’t regret!
Was pleasantly surprised with this tour and was a good way to spend the day. If I had to be picky it would be that our guide spent a really long time in a few locations which put us very behind. I would also have liked to tour the museums on my own without every movement being choreographed. What should have been 7-8 hrs turned into over 12. Was a bit too long for me and traffic is difficult to be in the car with motion sickness. That being said if you’re prepared for all day it hits all the great spots and I enjoyed my time. Felt safe and comfortable as a solo traveler as well.
The tour is fun and the guide is kind and nice, what a amazing tour
The Tour Company had 3 cars moving/traveling together. The Tour guide in our car was a beginner and spoke a very poor English. But that is ok, no big problem. When we arrived at Genghis Khan statue, the most experienced of the 3 tour guides got ahead of talking to the 3 groups. This guy should only be a Tour guide instead of expressing his political point of view about this or that Country.
Dean the tour guide is an icon and a goat all in one. He will get all the angles, knows all the spots and loves to climb and aurafarm on turtle rock. Great tour and pretty views btw guys :) <3
Amazing tour guide Dean (the goat) showed us around to all of these great locations and was extremely keen to take photos for us. Super friendly and a great singer- get him to do Mongolian throat singing. Pray for his car the engine light was on. 10/10 no notes
Most enjoyable and good value for the price Helpfu and l informative guides. Interesting activities suitable for all ages
An excellent day that we will not forget! It was intense with discoveries and activities. A real delight. The guide was a very good driver, and his explanations were fascinating. It was interactive and friendly. The companion was very kind and attentive. The flow of the day was great, and the meal was very good. We can only recommend. Put on clothes to walk and be fit to enjoy the wonderful day that awaits you. 👍😎
what a fantastic day, the weather was perfect. its quite a climb to the top of the monument via a very narrow staircase, but well worth the effort.
