"Journey Through the Mongolian Steppes: Exploring 13th Century History and Culture"
Tour Type
Experience tour
The XIII Century Complex is located on an 88-hectare site around Mount Jor in Erdenesant, Central Province, approximately 96 km from Ulaanbaatar. The primary aim of this project is to offer visitors an immersive experience of 13th-century Mongolian life. The complex is designed to recreate the daily activities, work, and environment of the Mongolians from that era, providing an authentic historical journey.
As a dedicated venue for tourism, recreation, and entertainment, the XIII Century Complex faithfully replicates the historical and cultural setting of early Mongol warriors. It showcases the lifestyle, work, and cultural atmosphere of the time, operating without modern amenities such as electricity, television, Coca-Cola, or mobile phones, in strict adherence to historical accuracy.
Traditional Mongolian ceremonies and activities are conducted at the Tsogtserbold area, including sheep wool felting, the slaughter of young animals, and special events such as the national flag ceremony, sky worship rituals, weddings, mare breeding, foal branding, and the Three Man Festival.
A sign at the main entrance reads:
"Dear visitor, you are about to step into the wonders of the ancient Mongolian world. Please disembark from your vehicle and present your identification and passport for entry. Adherence to our customs is all that is required. Those who enter Erland will experience time in a completely different manner. Here, the hands of the clock move from sunrise, not sunset. Embrace this journey through time; do not resist it."

Thank you very much for your support towards climbing Otgontenger this time.
Being able to communicate in Japanese for everything from email exchanges during the preparation stage to on-site follow-up was really helpful for me, as I don't have any language skills.
During the climb, the two young guides supported me as I was about to give up due to the blizzard and snow walls, and successfully guided me to the summit. I was surprised to hear that the company has only been established for a few years. I pray that it will continue to prosper.
Please take me somewhere else.
I am very grateful to the four of you for giving me your support.
The starry sky was beautiful, and the mountains, rivers, and flowers were beautiful.
I felt like I was able to climb a mountain for the first time in a while.
Also, I am very satisfied with the "hospitality" of the staff, including Mr. Uruka.
However, as we get older, we often forget things, and we apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your continued support.
Thank you very much.
Following on from the last time, I asked them to arrange my second mountain climbing trip in Mongolia. When they suggested Mt. Sutai, which I had wanted to climb, I felt a telepathic connection and immediately agreed. They were polite and precise in their response during the actual attack, and I was able to reach the summit safely. I'll contact them again if I ever feel like seeing the grasslands. Thank you very much♪
Despite the fact that this was unexpected and unexpected, they quickly put together an original plan and we were able to go on a tour.
The tour included things that I would never have been able to do on my own, and it was a very fulfilling experience, as I was able to get up close and personal with Mongolian nature and the lives of the nomadic people.
The staff were always looking out for me during the tour, so I was able to enjoy it without any inconvenience in terms of food and health.
The staff spoke fluent Japanese, so we were able to have fun conversations while traveling. I was very satisfied and it was a great memory.
I would like to use them again if I go to Mongolia.
Everything about this tour was wonderful!The trekking experience — from the preparation of gear, support during activities, meal arrangements, to communication — exceeded my expectations in every way. Everything was meticulously taken care of.
Other events were equally impressive, and each day was filled with exciting and extraordinary moments.
This tour is quite different from conventional packages — it’s more adventurous — but it offers an energetic and truly rewarding experience.
I especially recommend it to travelers with a positive and adventurous spirit.
Impressions of My First Trekking Experience in Mongolia
To all the staff,
Thank you so much for your attentive and thoughtful service. I’m truly grateful for having had the best staff arranged for us.
Traveling across the highlands was a joy thanks to the skilled driving. I was able to fully enjoy the vast nature and breathtaking scenery of Mongolia. The car rides were truly enjoyable!
The festival was also fantastic — it became one of my most cherished memories of Mongolia!
I’m also very thankful for all the support you provided throughout the entire journey.
I could really feel your consideration in the meals as well. The curry rice and cucumber salad helped stimulate my appetite.
Georgia-san's cooking was delicious — simply the best!
On the sixth day, when I asked for a water refill, I was a bit concerned that the bottled water wasn’t clear.
Also, living in a tent for seven days was quite tough.I think five days would make it less physically demanding.
This was a fun journey in Mongolia — one that cannot be experienced through ordinary sightseeing tours.
I’m grateful that everyone was able to return home safely! Thank you again for all the care and attention you provided.(I may even be tempted to try the Multi [trek] again… Fujita
Impressions of the Mongolia Trekking Tour
Dear Uruka and all the staff,
Thank you very much for everything during the trip.
Mongolia was an unknown world to me, and I had both high expectations and some anxiety. However, thanks to the Japanese-speaking guides, I was able to stay calm and enjoy the experience.
Climbing a 4000-meter mountain was a first for me. Reaching the glacier and the summit of Malchin Peak was deeply moving.
The vast Altai Mountains and the view over the Russian territory left a strong impression. Looking back at the maps and photos now, I feel even more touched.
It was truly an unforgettable journey. I sincerely appreciate all the arrangements — the base camp, meals, and everything else. Traveling by off-road vehicle was also an active and valuable experience.
I also strongly felt the warm atmosphere welcoming the visit of His Majesty the Emperor. I pray for the continued development of friendship between Mongolia and Japan.
Thank you very much.
This trip to Mongolia was a series of first-time experiences for me.
First of all, driving through the wilderness in a Land Cruiser — it was full of wildness and excitement. That’s something you just can’t do in Japan. The Russian 4WD vehicle was also impressive.
I was speechless when I saw a glacier for the first time — its sheer size was overwhelming. Walking on it and realizing it contained so many rocks and debris surprised me even more.
Climbing Malchin Peak was my first time scaling a mountain over 4000 meters. And stepping into Russian territory without permission — also a first! I’m glad we didn’t get shot.
Although we couldn’t climb Mt. Khüiten, which was our main goal, I’m still fully satisfied.
We spent seven nights in tents and three nights in hotels, without soaking in a hot bath — but thanks to the dry climate, it didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.
The lamb and horse meat we ate at the campsites were excellent. Even though there was dry dung scattered around our feet, it didn’t feel strange at all.
One of my favorite memories is when we all picked up dung to burn as insect repellent.
To everyone involved — thank you from the bottom of my heart!
A Journey Through Mongolia
In Shinji Tanimura's song “Tenrō” (Heavenly Wolf), there is a verse:
Splitting the sky, the Sirius shines
Ah— the aged, white wolf
Cast away your rest and cry out into the night sky
If you still have your spirit, cry out once more
That journey through Mongolia, which lasted just over ten days, now feels to me like it may have been only a dream.
At the very first dinner in the restaurant, I heard that “Gamba,” who attended to us, was a distant relative of Tsubekuma-san.It felt as though a missing piece of a circular puzzle had finally clicked into place—and with that, my journey reached a perfect conclusion.
I had thought the rest would be a mere bonus.But then came the endless drive through the dusty plains, the 16-kilometer trek, the scree-covered climb up a 4000-meter peak.At high camp, en route to the highest summit, we waited in a sunlit daze for the load-carrying team to arrive. What was all of that, really?Something dark seemed to pass by…Someone seemed to scream…When I snapped back to awareness and looked around, a vast wall of snow loomed before us, leading to the final summit.
In the service industry, CS (Customer Satisfaction) is always emphasized,Yet here, time is elusive, the subjects are animals, the skills of the group members are unknown, and the weather, of course, is unpredictable.
To the Mongolian leader and staff who brought this challenging schedule to completion, I offer my deepest respect.And to the companions who accepted an eccentric like myself, I extend my heartfelt gratitude.
If the chance ever comes again,Would I be able to cry out once more…?
