Classified in 2004 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as the cradle of nomadic Mongolia, the “Orkhon Valley Cultural Landscape“, covering an area of approximately 122,000 hectares, covers a vast area of grazing land stretching km long and 30 km wide on both banks of the Orkhon River.
Grasslands are still used today by nomadic pastoralists in Mongolia, and many families continue the traditional way of life. In the valleys and around the rivers are nestled yurts which shelter nomadic families. In the wild, herds of horses, yaks, sheep and goats move in these protected areas.
The Orkhon Falls are in fact the falls of the Ulaan Tsutgalan River. The river falls into a spectacular canyon formed after a volcanic eruption more than 20,000 years ago, forming a cascade 26 meters high and 5,5 meters wide.
The site is enchanted by the contrast between the whiteness of the moss and the black rock that forms the walls of the canyon. Down the walls to the foot of autumn, you will discover trees and flowers that take advantage of the abundance of water to grow.

Bat-Ulziit soum, situated on the hilly peaks of the high mountain of ‘Undur-Ovoot also called Shiveet-Ulaan. The mountains can reach up to 5 kilometers from the monastery. The first chief Lamaisme Bogd Guegueen Zanabazar was born in 1648, when he was 14 years old, interested in the unique natural beauty of this natural beauty, and in 1651 he built a stone house with a stone wall to practice meditation and called it “Dubkhan“. The name changed Tuvkhun.

Picnic lunch brought by our vehicles, nothing to wear on horses, so we can enjoy many gallops!.
It is our last day of ride, before visiting the largest monastery in the country “Erdene Zuu”, we leave our friends (the local guides) and our brave horses.
Karakorum (Kharkhoryn) is the ancient capital of the Mongol Empire, founded in 1235 by Ogödei, the son of Genghis Khan.
In 1260, Kublai Khan transferred the capital to Beijing. Karakorum was destroyed in 1388 by troops of the Ming dynasty. From its former glory remain simple turtle statues guarding the entrances to the city walls.
In 1585, Erdene Zuu was built just outside the walls of the ruins of the ancient capital after the introduction of Buddhism in Mongolia as a state religion. Stones from the ruins of Karakorum were used in the construction.
It is surrounded by a wall with 108 stupas. 108 is a sacred number in Buddhism, and it is also the number of pearls in a Buddhist rosary (mala).
The monastery was damaged in the 1680s, but was rebuilt in the 18th century and in 1872.
For centuries, Erdene Zuu has been the most important religious sanctuary in Mongolia.
In 1939, Communist leader Horloogiyn Choybalsan destroyed the monastery in a purge that resulted in the disappearance of hundreds of monasteries in Mongolia and killed over ten thousand monks.
There remained three small temples and the outer wall with the stupas; the temples became museums in 1947.
After the fall of communism in Mongolia in 1990, the monastery was given to the lamas and Erdene Zuu again became a place of worship.
The site was restored at the end of the century and has regained part of its religious aspect. Today, Erdene Zuu remains an active Buddhist monastery as well as a museum open to tourists.
We set up camp near the Orkhon river in a valley near Karakorum.
Dinner and overnight in tents.
Day – 15 Kharkhorin to Ulan Bator

Lunch and free time for shopping in stores downtown.
In the late afternoon, you will attend a show with traditional dances, music and songs from Mongolia, especially the amazing Khoomei.
The Khoomei is an overtone singing (throat singing) in which the singer produces two distinctively audible pitches at the same time, including a low pedal note, or drone, derived from the fundamental frequency of the vocal cord vibrations, and higher melodic notes that result when the singer’s mouth acts as a filter, selecting one note at a time from among the drone’s natural overtone series pitches.
The sound is reminiscent of the Jew’s harp.
This type of song is recorded in Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2010.
Dinner downtown and overnight at a 3* hotel.
