Horse-riding in Terelj National Park
A short stopover offers a good sample of the local culture, old and new lifestyles as well as riding Mongolian horses in the countryside. Spending a short day in UB for introductory city tour, drive to nearby park for a pleasant hike, a visit to nomadic family and ride horses for an hour or two. Terelj National Park, in the evening, creates an artistic panorama of angled rocks, orange and purple shades, all very dramatic with the cloud shapes and in the heat of summer, the evening is the best time for a stroll.
