STEP 1 - ULAANBAATAR - TERELJ NATIONAL PARK : We are driven by jeep to Gorkhi-Terelj national park. Terelj is only a two hours drive in the north east of Ulaanbaatar. Not far from capital city, Terelj offers a perfect spot for hiking with fascinating rocks and cliffs, pine forested mountains and green flowery valleys marked with lovely rivers and lakes. After a stop at the Turtle Rock named after the shape caused by natural erosion, you will visit the Guurtein monastery which is perched on a mountain top. On the afternoon, you will be driven in the northern section of the park where you will experience Mongolian hospitality with a nomadic family who will host you for the night. Their summer camp by the river Terelj is a nice area for a short hike after a cup of welcoming Mongolian milk tea. LUNCH ON THE WAY, DINNER AND OVERNIGHT WITH A FAMILY, IN A GER FOR GUESTS JEEP : 2 HOURS

STEP 2 - TERELJ NATIONAL PARK, HORSE RIDING : If you feel up to waking up at dawn to get hands on experience of a herder’s daily chores, prepare for a 5 am wake up call to assist in milking a yak, a chore known as dris. After breakfast with the local family, an enjoyable horse ride along the river Tuul awaits you. On horseback you will go deeper into the park to discover more of its fabulous rivers, steppes, grassy meadows and forest patches. Horses and guides are at your entire disposal; you can ride more or less or just follow on foot at your convenience. In the evening, pitch in to help prepare and feast on ‘Horhog', also called mongol barbecue, a traditional Mongolian stewed meat dish.
