Gorkhi-Terelj National Park

Terelj National Park is located at 65 km north east of Ulaanbaatar and recognized as a part of the huge Khan Khentii reserve and was established as a Strictly Protected Area in 1992. To the north-east, the park joins into the Khan Khentii Strictly Protected Area, comprising over 1.2 million hectares of the Tov, Selenge and Khentii aimags. The Khan Khentii park is almost completely uninhabited by humans, but it is home to endangered species of moose, brown bear and weasel, to name but a few, and to over 250 species of birds. The average altitude is around 1600m above sea level. The park's most spectacular features are its huge granite blocks, extraordinary view and cliffs as well as meadows rich in wild flowers. This place is very suitable for hiking, fishing, and exploring wildlife.
