Day 2: Early in the morning we will start the tour to the ancient capital city of Great Chinggis Khan, Kharakhorum. On the way we will have lunch next to the Elsen Tasarkhai Sand dune. The
area is surrounded by sand dunes, hills covered with rare bushes and a small forest near a river and lake. Together this presents a unique combination of Mongolian mountains, forests and Gobi-type landscape in one location.
In 1220 great Chinghis Khaan declared it as the capital city of his vast Empire. Today there are many interesting sites left to visit; the legendary turtle rock sculptures, Buddhist stupas and the ruins of this once great city to name a few. Erdenezuu - the 1st Buddhist monastery in Mongolia was established in 1586. Today Erdenezuu monastery still shows its glory with collections of many priceless religious objects and incredibly beautiful Mongolian arts. It has a massive square wall, 420 meters in length each side, 108 Stupas & 17 temples.
Day 3: After breakfast drive to Tsenkher hot spa. It is natural hot spring which is in the grassy plain. The heat of the hot spring coming out from the source is 86 degrees. The open air-bath which enters in the grassy plain gives the most unforgettable feeling. The area is surrounded by forest and it is good place for hiking and riding yaks.
Day 4: Start driving to the Khorgo-Great White Lake. Amid volcanic craters, pine-clad lava fields and the occasional herd of grazing yaks,
the Great White Lake, as it’s known in English, is the natural highlight of Arkhangai aimag. According to legend, the lake was formed when an elderly couple forgot to cap a well after fetching water. The valley flooded with water until a local hero shot a nearby mountain top with his arrow; the shorn top covered the well and became an island in the lake (Noriin Dund Tolgoi).
Day 5: Before afternoon we can horse back riding around the lake. We will explore the youngest Khorgo volcano, where monks used to hide during the communist purchase.
