Terelj National Park is a picturesque place of high granite cliffs that were eroded by natural forces creating a wonderful landscape of granite tors as if sculpted by some giant sculptor. Terelj is only 60-70 km east of Ulaanbaatar. Terelj National Park was established in 1993 and covers an area of 2932 square km in the southern Khan Khentii Mountain Range. This park has a landscape of transition from Siberian taiga forest to grass steppe. Most visited places in the park are Turtle Rock formation and Aryabal Meditation Temple. To cater for visitors, there are tourist ger camps set up in the national style, plus up to “5 star” hotels and restaurants. The Chinggis Khan Equestrian Statue is a 40m tall silver statue of Chinggis Khan riding his horse. It is located on the back of the Tuul river where according to legend he found a golden whip. The statue is symbolically pointing east towards to his birthplace. There is a visitors centre and excellent bronze age and 13th century museum which is definitely worth the visit.
