Genghis Khan is famous for establishing the largest empire the world has ever seen. For the Mongols, he embodies strength, unity, law and order. He is the young king who united the warring clans. Until the end of the 12th century, the Mongols were little more than a loose confederation of rival clans. A Mongol named Temujin was born in 1162, as a prince of Kiyat-Borjigin tribe. After many years of hard life after his father's death, at the age of 20, he emerged from a power struggle to become the leader of the Kiyat-Borjigins. Within a few years, he managed to unite most of the Mongol tribes, and in 1189, he was given the honorary name of Chinggis Khaan, meaning 'universal (or oceanic) king'. No Mongolian leader before or since has held the Mongolians together.

Genghis Khan's Monument at Gurvan Nuur is famous for that it was erected in 1962 or during the communist time. During the communist regime Genghis Khaan was seen as a monster, mass killer to the Mongols according to the Soviet policy. The Mongols weren't allowed to say good things about their Great Khaan, if one once told he'd definitely be sent to jail.

Oglogchiin Herem is the biggest graveyard ever found from the 13th century. It is said that it was the graveyard of the 13th century Mongolian aristocrats. The graveyard is surrounded by 2-4m high granite wall extending about 10 km. The journey also takes us to Khajuu Bulag, a spring near Deluun Boldog, Genghis Khaan is believed to be washed for the first time right after he was born.
Rashaan Khad is famous for its over 20 ancient inscriptions in Tibetan, Runic, ancient Mongolian etc. It is a 10m high granite rock on a hill.

Eastern Mongolia SPA
Imagine the verdant grasslands that covered the great plains of eastern Europe a thousand years ago or North America two hundred years ago-a place with few inhabitants, and no fences, roads, or livestock. Established in part to protect habitat for the Mongolian gazelle, the Eastern Mongolia Protected Area covers a representative part of the last of the great plain ecosystems. The Eastern Mongolia protected area is home to 25 species of mammal, dominated by herds of Mongolian gazelle. Wolves, corsac and red fox, and badger all occur here. Birds include the endangered great bustard, a game bird that has been hunted close to extinction. Steppe eagles, upland buzzards, kites, and the rough-legged harrier all nest in the reserve. Two species of amphibian, including the endangered Asiatic grass frog, and five reptiles live here.

Shiliin Bogd is the highest one of the over 180 extinct volcanoes (were active some 10 million years ago) in eastern Mongolian steppes and is elevated at 1778m. Shiliin Bogd provides a wonderful view of the other 180 extinct volcanoes from its top. The mountain is the place where the "Mongol Good Men" took their oaths to help the poor by robbing the Chinese and Manchus in the mid 17th - early 20th century when the Mongols were under Manchu control.

Taliin Agui Cave was made by the volcano eruption and is considered as the most beautiful one of Mongolian over 200 caves. It wasn't easy to find the cave in the vast steppes, thus, the Mongol Good Men used to hide from the polices.

Ganga Lake is a fresh water lake along the Moltsog sand dunes set in the beautiful valley of Dariganga sum. The scenery here is picturesque and is home to many rare species of birdlife. We will meet Dariganga people and learn their interesting culture & traditions near the lake.

The Dariganga, a small people group of Mongolian origin, inhabit the southeastern regions of Mongolia. The Dariganga belong to the eastern group of Mongols, which includes the Khalkha Mongols, the Buryat, and most of Mongols in China. Although most Mongols now live in cities, there remains a large population of Dariganga nomads. Their dwellings are portable gers. The nomads raise horses, cattle, and sheep and migrate four or five times a year in search of fresh pastures. The Dariganga traditionally married while they were very young. The girls were usually 13 or 14, and the boys were only a few years older. Today, couples usually marry while they are in their early to mid-twenties, then immediately begin having children. Urban Dariganga, especially those with a college education, tend to delay marriage until they reach their late twenties. Birth control is discouraged in Mongolia. The Dariganga love music, folk dances, chess, and sporting events.

Herlenii Hodoo Aral is also one of the most important places for Genghis Khaan's life. The only historic document on Genghis Khaan's life and wars "The Secret History of the Mongols" was completed here in 1240 or 1252. In honor of the event, a stone monument of the Great Khaan was erected here in 1990.

Gun-Galuut Nature Reserve was founded in order to protect the endangered wildlife and their habitats. It's the first place to develop environment-friendly and community-based tourism. The Nature Reserve is truly the marvelous combination of high mountains, colorful flowers, pretty lakes, rivers and wetland waters with full of waterbirds including some rare and endangered species. In Gun-Galuut people can see and take pictures of the endangered beautiful wild mountain sheep Argali the Big Horns from the closest distance.

Horse riding in the mountains, steppes and along the river is just awesome! There is a great fishing on the quiet Kherlen River including Taimen, Pike, Lenok, Burbot, Amur Catfish and Sturgeon.
