Wanderlust Sojourner tour

The Statue is regarded as the world's largest equestrian statue and the largest horse-riding statue globally. Additionally, there exists the world's largest Mongolian shoe mountains, characterized by their distinctive natural formations.



The Genghis Khan Equestrian Statue (Tsonjin Boldog Complex) stands 54 kilometers north of Ulaanbaatar, making it the world's largest equestrian statue and the largest horse-riding statue globally. According to folklore, this location was chosen due to its proximity to the site where Chinggis Khaan discovered a golden whip.

Complementing the equestrian statue, the complex features an impressive museum housing artifacts from both the Huns and the Mongol Empire, a café, and a souvenir shop. Visitors can also appreciate the archaeological discoveries at the Mongol Empire History Museum, photograph themselves in traditional costumes, or marvel at one of the world's tallest Traditional Boots standing at 9 meters high.

Gorkhi Terelj National Park, situated approximately 50 kilometers east of Ulaanbaatar, offers a unique blend of natural beauty and historical significance. This park boasts a lush green landscape, captivating rock formations, and several traditional ger camps. One of the park's most prominent landmarks is Turtle Rock, which reaches an impressive height of 24 meters and resembles a turtle. Along the path leading to Turtle Rock, visitors may encounter 100 Monks Cave or Three Friends Cave, believed to have been utilized by monks during various periods.

Ariyabal Temple and Gunjiin Temple, two lesser-known temples, attract tourists primarily for their scenic views. While Ariyabal Temple dates back to 1998, dedicated solely to meditation, its history remains relatively unknown. In contrast, Gunjiin Temple holds more historical significance, drawing visitors interested in the region's cultural heritage.

Gorkhi Terelj National Park not only offers rich historical insights but also stunning natural landscapes. Whether exploring its attractions or relaxing amidst the wilderness, visitors can enjoy the park's diverse offerings. Additionally, participants may engage in activities such as horseback riding and camel safaris, immersing themselves further into the park's vibrant ecosystem.
