Former Capital Of Mongolia Empire!

Experience the heart of Mongolia in Kharkhorin!❤️ Nestled amidst breathtaking landscapes, this ancient city is a treasure trove of history and culture. Explore the ruins of Kharkhorin, once the capital of the Mongol Empire, and discover the awe-inspiring Erdene Zuu Monastery.🏯 Immerse yourself in nomadic traditions, ride horses across the vast steppe, and savor authentic Mongolian cuisine. Kharkhorin is your gateway to a timeless adventure in Mongolia. 🇲🇳 Tips and Tricks⁉️ 📶SIM - if you want the best coverage all through the country Mobicom SIM should be your choice. In Ulaanbaatar go to TEDY (mobile phone shopping center) with your passport and they will cater the SIM to your needs. 🚌Ulaanbaatar › Kharkhorin: In Ulaanbaatar go to the Dragon Bus Terminal (Автовокзал Драгон) there's only one direct bus a day. Departure time is 11:00. There are later buses that pass through Kharkhorin as well, but the drop-off point won't be Kharkhorin's bus station. 🗺️Download app called Maps.me it has more detailed maps and roads shown than Google. Great help especially in finding any kind of footpath. 🏞️If you decide to visit Great Mongolia Monument (Maps.me)/ Monument for Mongol States (Google maps) you can go downhill from the monument towards the Orkhon river. It is a marvel to see - winding river bed, grazing horses and cattle, eagles flying in search for a pray. Pure beauty of Mongolian nature. 🖌️Erdene Zuu Monastery is one of "Must see" places in Kharkhorin. While visiting it, pay attention to the craftsmen and artists - their work is mesmerizing. Intricate free hand writings and drawings are too good to be left on the shelves of the artist. Enjoy!💛💚💙 #timetotravel #spintheworld #mongolia #kharkhorin #trip #backpacking
