Overview

The tallest horseman-statue in the world is dedicated to Mongolian legendary emperor – Chinggis or Genghis Khan and it is standing only in an hour drive from the capital – Ulanbator city.

If you are keen to explore Mongolian ancient history and nomadic lifestyle, existing for centuries, we advise you to go on this trip that brings you to the outstanding Genghis Khan statue resort and the 13th Century park, set up with unique clan camps bringing the exotic environment and the feeling of the 13th century. One thing: please do keep in mind the road, to your whole bunch of adventure of horse and camel riding, tasting of the traditional food and drinks, experiencing the local culture and the customs and more, will be rather bumpy.

    We believe that comfortable, welcoming accommodation is vital to the enjoyment of your trip.

  • Meals:
    In Ulaanbaatar, you will be dining at fine European and Asian cuisine restaurants. Mutton, beef, rice, and noodles form the basis of the Mongolian diet, so your meals will be based around this. However, the trail rations may include vegetables, eggs, peanut butter, cheese and sometimes yak! On some days there will be lunchboxes from tourist camps. It is good food and our experience has been that guests are happy with this arrangement. Please let us know in advance if you are a vegetarian. Alcohol is not provided on the trip but tourists are free to bring their own.
