  • Great place to visit no matter what time of year it is. I happened to be visiting in late January, so it was very cold, lots of snow, just beautiful. No people around so it felt like the whole park...

  • I came during autumn when the trees are shedding yellow and casting beautiful shades of life beside the running Tuul river. There are resorts which offer stays in Ger or normal hotel rooms, serving stone-cooked lamb meat… a great getaway with friends or family during the weekend or for a party!
  • The area is quite scenic. Rock formations are a must for anyone traveling there. Also, for people looking to stay in the area for a number of days or for a few hours, camps are quite accommodating.
  • Absolutely amazing place with such stuning landscapes-green mountains and endless steppes. Pure nature with wild horses around. Rare place where it is possible to find real silence and real darkness without light pollution. There are almost no normal roads, so there is a need of very good car drive skills. Mongolia nature is totally profound, defenitely recommend to explore it.
  • Very scenic Nice views of natural beauty. Rocks / mountain sides are in shapes of giant tortoise and praying monk. Ghengus Khan staue . You can rent dogsled team go horseback and camel riding. Hold golden eagles . Snowmobile and 4 wheel ATV rentals are also available.
  • Beautiful national park with modern amenities. There are many activities nearby, golf course, horse riding , camel riding, normadic farm etc..... A beautiful river runs across where you can go fishing, swimming or camping
