Terelj National Park, the first destination, is located 52 kilometers northwest of Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. Established in 1993, this national park attracts both local Mongolians and international tourists, offering a chance to enjoy its stunning natural beauty. Visitors can experience the nomadic lifestyle through horse treks and livestock care, as well as enjoy handmade dairy products and climbing Turtle Rock. The sight of horses, cattle, yaks, sheep, and goats grazing in the lush grasslands provides a sense of tranquility and appreciation for nature. The highest point in Terelj National Park is Mount Awkhan, standing at 2,664 meters. Crystal mining was conducted here until 1960 when groundwater emerged, halting the activity. The park is also known for its alpine plants and various flowers.

Elsen Tasarkhai Sand Dunes, the second location, stretches 96 kilometers from the first bank of Gurvanbulag Sum to the western side of Khogno Khan Mountain, spanning areas in Bulgan and Ovorkhangai provinces, as well as Gurvanbulag Sum. This sand dune region is divided by the central road into Mongol Sand to the front and Khognetarn Sand to the north. The sand is moist due to the influence of the Tarlun River, with willows and poplars thriving around. Nearby tourist camps offer access to the beautiful Khogno Khan Mountain to the north and the Great Mongolia Mountain to the south, which is considered the heart of Mongolia.

Kharakhorum, the third site, is near the ruins of the capital of the Great Mongolia established by Ogedei Khan. The Erdene Zuu Monastery is also located here. Medieval Kharakhorum remains a focal point for experts. It served as the Mongol Empire’s capital for 32 of the 140 years of the empire's existence. The city was divided into two districts: the Saracen (Islamic) market and Chinatown, which housed numerous streets and artisans. In addition, there were twelve churches representing various ethnicities and religions.

Visiting Mongolia was an absolute dream come true! The ancient ruins are truly mesmerizing, and the views are breathtaking.

Yuichiro Okamura

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.

Hyoudou Takafumi

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.
