GORKHI TERELJ NATIONAL PARK

Fantastic Rock Formation 

Gorhi Terelj is located in southwest of Hentii mountain ranges, at the altitude of 1600meters. This area was protected as a National Park in 1993, especially due to its natural scenic beauty. It has been used as a tourism destination with ger camps, restaurants, souvenir shops and horses, camels for rent, but the rest of park has evolved with grazing by wildlife and livestock. National Park within alpine scenery and fantastic rock formation is the perfect spot for short schedules because of close to Ulaanbaatar city, it’s approximately 66km from capital. It offers the great opportunities to hike in a day, ride around on camel and horseback and rock climbing. Here are two main highlights; turtle rock which is naturally shaped like a turtle and, meditation monastery is surrounded by beautiful views.
