The
Kharakhorum was flourished in the IV-IX
century by the Kirgis tribe and in 1220 the
great Emperor Chinghis Khaan declared it as
the capital city of his vast Empire. Many other
Mongolian Khaans used Kharakhorum as the capital
of Great Mongolian Empire, however, the Chinese
Ming soldiers burnt the city several times in
15-17th century. 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
("One Hundred Treasures") was the
first Buddhist monastery in the Mongolian Empire.
It was established in 1586 on the orders of
Abtai Sain Khaan, a direct descendent from Genghis
Khaan. The monastery has a massive square wall,
420 meters in length each side, a total of 108
Stupas and 17 temples. Today Erdenezuu monastery
still shows its glory with collections of many
priceless religious objects and incredibly beautiful
Mongolian arts.
Gun-Galuut
Nature Reserve is one of the most
famous nature reserves of Mongolia. Being recently
founded, the breathtaking park is full of wildlife
including Wild Mountain sheep Argali. Brand
new comfortable tourist camp Steppe
Nomads will make your stay more
enjoyable and unforgettably beautiful.
"Elsen tasarhai"
is a part of the Great Mongolian Sand dunes
and extends about 80 km. The scenery is a perfect
combination of desert, picturesque mountains,
river and green grassland and makes you feel
like you are in heaven.
Hustai
National Park is the place where the
wild Takhi- Przewalski horses have lived peacefully
since 1993 when they were reintroduced to their
native land Mongolia. Here we are able to see
and photograph these beautiful wild horses at
pasture and Red Deer, Wolf, Asian Marmot, various
species of waterfawls and prey birds etc., as
well.
