Beautiful Mongolia tour
The city of Kharakorum: in 1220 the Great “Chinggis” khan declared it as the Capital city of his vast empire. Today there are many interesting sites left to visit; the legendary turtle rock sculptures, Buddhist stupas, and the ruins of this once great city to name a few. Erdenezuu is the first Buddhist monastery in the Mongolian empire, established in 1586. Today “Erdene zuu” monastery still shows its glory with collections of many priceless religious objects and incredibly beautiful Mongolian arts. It has a massive square wall, 420 meters in length on each side, a total of 108 stupas, and 17 temples.
Khustai national park is the place where the wild Takhi- Przewalski horses have lived peacefully since 1993 when they were reintroduced to their native land Mongolia. Here we are able to see and photograph these beautiful wild horses at pasture and red deer, wolf, Asian marmot and prey birds, etc., as well.
