Day 2: After breakfast, we will drive to the Gorkhi Terelj National Park. Terelj was founded as a national park in 1994 and is located on the edge of Khan Khentii mountain range. The alpine scenery and fantastic rock formations of Terelj National Park were the homelands of Genghis Khan and his hordes. The rock formations of the park are fascinating, while more than 250 bird species make it an enchanting place to relax. Some of the rock formations resemble the bodies of prehistoric animals. Nomadic tribesmen still herd their herds in the pastureland. After having Mongolian lunch at the nomadic family, start packing the horses and get ready for the adventure.
Today we will not ride long, as you will need some practice on Mongolian horses. We will see the most popular granite rock formation which is called Turtle Rock - a gigantically rock carved by only wind and rain. Our next stop will be the Buddhist meditation center called Aryabala Temple. Nestled in hills, Aryabala offers a unique and wonderful view of the Terelj area.
