Itinerary:

Day 1 - Hustai National Park - Khogno Khaan Natural Reserve

After an early 7am breakfast, the tour begins at 8am with the drive out of Ulaanbaatar. The first stop will be Hustai National Park. The park is home to the successfully reintroduced Przewalski or “Takhi” Horse. There are some of the last truly wild horses in the world. Picnic lunch in the Hustai mountain.

Your final destination for the day will be the wild rocky mountain, where you will stay in a local family ger and enjoy dinner. Khogno Khan Natural Reserve is a beautiful series of rocky hills that rise above the otherwise flat landscape and sand dunes.

You can visit the ruins of the Uvgun Khiid monastery, which was destroyed in 1937 in the Stalin Purges, and even spot a snow leopard if you are lucky. Camel riding in the sunset will finish your day in the steppe in unique style.

Day 2 - Khar Khorin- The Ancient Capital City

After breakfast at 8am, your journey will continue towards Khar Khorin for about 90km. Khar Khorin is the ancient capital built by Chinggis Khan in the 13th century. Upon arrival in Khar Khorin, you will visit the impressive Erdene Zuu Monastery, where you see chanting monks and witness Mongolian Buddhist culture. Have lunch in a local restaurant. Visit Khar Khorin museum, as well as some of the rock monuments in the town. After a big day exploring have a nice dinner at local family restaurant. Showers are available at the guesthouse.

The day starts with the drive to Tsetserleg town, where the guide will buy fresh food for the upcoming days. Visit Arkhangai Museum and have lunch in the Fairfield Cafe run by the local community. Then continue to Terkhiin Tsagaan Nuur, a volcanic lake ringed by stark Rocky Mountains. On the way we will take you to Chuluut River and the Khorgo Volcano. There are many natural highlights to explore in this area. Accommodation will be at a family ger camp.

Day 5 - Khuvsgul Lake

First stop of the day will be Murun town, capital of Khuvsgul. Stock up on food from the local market, then continue to the lake. Arrive at Lake Khuvsgul which is known as the Dark Blue Pearl among beautiful mountains. There are 96 rivers and streams that flow into the lake, including the Egiin River, which then joins the Selenge along its eventual path to Lake Baikal. Lake Khuvsgul is 136 km long and 36 km wide, 262 meters deep, and located at an altitude of 1645m above sea level.

Taiga fauna and flora, as well as the Tsaatan people, who practice reindeer breeding, are among the main attractions. The lake is on an important migration route for birds from Siberia, thus facilitating marvelous opportunities for bird watching. Accomodation will be at a local ger camp.

Day 6 - Khuvsgul Lake continued

Take the opportunity to relax and truly appreciate the surrounding landscape. We will take you boat riding on the Sukhbaatar boat for about an hour before lunch.

The Selenge River is a major river in Mongolia, which flows into Lake Baikal and has a length of 992 km.

Day 9 - Amarbaysgalant Monastery

Another early morning starts at 7am after breakfast. Drive through the town of Erdenet, the third largest city for a lunch break, and then continue to Amarbayasgalant Monastery which is one of the three largest Buddhist monastic centers in Mongolia.

The monastery was established and founded by the order of the Manchu emperor Enkh- Amgalan Khan to serve as a final resting place for Zanabazar. Today, 28 temples remain. The monastery and the beautiful scenery of the mountain range, just north of Amarbayasgalant, is always a favorite with travelers. Stay in a local ger camp.

Meg will really help you to make your stay in UB as good as possible and will do all she can (and all of her time !) to give you advices, organise trips, share a drink and always in a good mood 🙂 We spend several days in Meg’s guesthouse, in a private room, which is good for the price in UB. We also did a trip with Meg’s tour, which was not planed at the beginning, but it was one of our best memory after almost one year travelling … Don’t tell you more, but go to Mongolia !

Fantastic find in the heart of UB
I stayed in 2 hostels before i was lucky enough to stumble across Meg’s Guesthouse. i met some travellers who recommended this as a place which was comfortable, close to the shops that i needed so that i could buy all the items i needed for my tours, hot showers and it had great wifi (the latter isn’t important but it is nice to be able to call family and friends once you have finished a long trip. the staff tare great and speak very good english whilst when i arrived they gave me ample information on what to do around that area. the other two hostels were very pushy in terms of needing to book tours if i wanted to stay with them longer and meg’s was a refreshing change. i felt it was more a home from home and felt like living in an apartment where i had freedom again. i decided to go on a tour with meg’s adventure tours and from what i heard from other travellers i feel very lucky to have done that also. i have nothing but positive things to say about this guesthouse and the fact that breakfast is included each day is a real welcome bonus. thank you so much and despite my initial problems with two other hostels i feel so grateful to have spent the remaining time in UB in this guesthouse. i really hope to come back next year and see other parts of your wonderful country.
