Mongolian Trip: Horse Riding in Terelj!!

About an hour's drive from Ulaanbaatar, Terelj is Mongolia's premier tourist destination. You can enjoy various sceneries such as rivers and mountains in Inner Terelj, and admire the landscape dotted with large rocks. There are also tourist spots like Turtle Rock and Aryabal Temple. Turtle Rock appears shortly after entering Terelj National Park. The rock, made of large orthoclase granite pegmatite, is shaped like a giant turtle and stands about 15 meters tall, independently located at the foot of a mountain. You can climb up to the base of its neck and enjoy a small adventure by passing under the rock. Aryabal Temple's approach starts with a grassland, followed by a suspension bridge, and finally stone steps leading to the main hall. There are also prayer wheels used in Tibetan Buddhism, and the temple is still supported by strong faith.
