Every moment on our Central Mongolia tours connects you to the land, the people, and Mongolia’s timeless traditions.
Once the ancient capital of the Mongol Empire, Kharkhorin is full of fascinating history. Visit the Erdene Zuu Monastery, Mongolia’s oldest Buddhist monastery, surrounded by 108 white stupas. Don’t miss the Karakorum Museum, which shares the story of Chinggis Khan’s empire through artifacts and exhibits.
Ride through the Orkhon River Valley, a sacred and scenic area that has been home to nomads for centuries. You’ll see waterfalls, herds of horses, and wide open plains where the sky feels endless. This valley is the perfect place to experience traditional Mongolian culture up close.
After a long day of exploring, relax in the Tsenkher Hot Springs, famous for their warm, healing mineral waters. Surrounded by pine-covered hills, it’s an ideal place to rest, recharge, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Mongolia’s countryside.
Experience the Mini Gobi Desert, a rare landscape that combines grasslands, sand dunes, and rocky mountains. Ride a two-humped Bactrian camel across the golden dunes, or take a short hike for beautiful panoramic views.
This region is one of Mongolia’s natural wonders. Hike up the Khorgo Volcano to see its ancient crater and admire the surrounding lava fields. Then relax by Terkhiin Tsagaan Lake, a pristine freshwater lake known for its clear blue water and serene atmosphere — perfect for kayaking, swimming, or photography.
Just a few hours from Ulaanbaatar, Terelj National Park offers breathtaking mountain scenery and unique rock formations. Visit the famous Turtle Rock, hike to the Aryabal Meditation Temple, and enjoy horseback riding through green valleys. It’s one of the highlights of our Central Mongolia tours.

Relax in a comfortable ger camp, enjoy a warm meal, and fall asleep to the sounds of nature. Waking up to the sunrise over the steppe is one of the most peaceful moments of your trip.
