You don’t have to go far to see the real Mongolia, from the moment you are out of Ulaanbaatar you are surrounded by beautiful pristine landscapes and nomads trekking around with their herds of animals.

To the northeast you have the alpine like and popular Terelj (see Khentii Mountains). But even if you go in different directions you don’t have to go far to see something beautiful. In the south there are Gobi like landscapes with bald rock formations and sand dunes, just a half day drive from UB.

To the west you have waving grasslands and just a small days drive and you arrive at the beautiful lake Ogii Nuur, while to the north we have forested mountain areas.

• Make a small tour to the sand dunes of Mongol Els within the steppe then onto Lake Ogii Nuur visiting the old capital Kharakhoram and the old Turkish runes of Khar Balgas.
• Take a few days jeep tour and hike through the rock formations from Zorgol Khairkhan Uul and ride camels on the sand dunes of Ar Burdiin Els.
