Must see in Mongolia

Once you are in Mongolia for any reason and if you want to say that, you have been to Mongolia and know its diversity from the rest of the world, you would probably need to see, experience, eat and do the following things at least. These are the things you would experience only in Mongolia that you cannot see anywhere in the world.

1. Chinggis Khan’s statue complex

The world’s biggest equestrian complex in modern times. The Chinggis Khaan Statue complex is a 40m tall, stainless steel structure located on north of Tuul River where according to the legend, he found a golden whip. Statue symbolically pointed east toward his birthplace. In the basement, there is an ethnic museum of Mongolian tribes.

2.Takhi in Khustai National park

The Khustai National Park lies 100km southwest of Ulaanbaatar and was established in 1993 to preserve Mongolia’s wild horses Takhi and the environment in which they live. This horse was unique to Mongolia where it existed until the 1960s. Since then, these beautiful creatures have been reintroduced from captivity, and they have taken well to their freedom. They are not particularly afraid of humans and the harems (one stallion and several mares) will come quite close.

3.Ger district

Almost 60% of Ulaanbaatar (capital city) consists of Ger district. This slum district is a very unique mixture of modern and old styles of housing including timber, brick, and felt houses. And it is hard to recognize which one is for a real slum and which one is for an ordinary family.
