was built during 1727-1736, in the honor of Undur Gegeen Zanabazar, the first Bogd (Buddhist

1930s, it housed nearly 2,000 monks. Today, only 28 temples now remain, they have been
under State protection since 1944. Enjoy your afternoon learning more about it and admiring
the hundreds of sculptures of Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and guardian deities, many by Zanabazar

In the morning, we will continue driving to Khuvsgul province which is on the north side of
Mongolia. You will be amazed by some of the most iconic scenery of nature. In the late
afternoon, we will arrive at your destination: Khuvsgul lake, one of Central Asia's clearest and
deepest blue lakes. The Lake holds approximately 2% of the earth's liquid surface freshwater.
You can’t find it on the world list because of its less developed, and less populated location,
which makes it a more unique place. You will be located on the east shore of the lake, where
the beautiful camp will provide with a local delicious dinner. Relax and rest in the quiet and
solitude of the ger camp after your long day’s drive.

In the morning, we’ll head to Kharkhorin. Historically known as Karakorum, it was an ancient
capital of the Mongol Empire. Founded in the 13th century by Ogodei Khan (Chingis Khan’s
third son and successor) it was for several centuries the center of the entire Mongolian empire,
a major trading center with caravans coming and going, as well as a model of religious
tolerance in which foreigners were free to have religious debates.
After lunch, we will visit the local museum of Karakorum and learn more about the beautiful
ancient Karakorum city and remarkable Genghis Khan.
We’ll then continue to visit the magnificent old Buddhist Monastery complex of Erdenezuu. The
first temple of Erdenzuu monastery was built in the 1580s, by the order of Dalai Lama, on the
ruin of Mongolian capital, Karakorum. At its peak, the monastery housed over 1000 monks and
had 62 temples. Sadly, in the 1930s, monastery suffered greatly in the communist religious
purges; most of the temples were destroyed and the monks killed. Nowadays, the monastery is

slowly being restored. The monastery is registered in “Heritage of Mongolia” by UNESCO. If we
are lucky we will have the opportunity to listen to the monks chanting.

Today, we will drive to the Hustai National Park. The park is home to the Takhi—the last of the
truly wild horses in the world, also known as Przwalski’s horses. Not that long ago, there were
none left in the wild, but after a successful captive breeding program in various worldwide zoos,
they were reintroduced to their native habitat here in Mongolia. This is the only place in the
world where you can see them in the wild.
Late in the afternoon, we visit the information center and learn more about the park and its
mission and vision. Then we will take a short drive to look for the wild horses in their natural
habitat. Keep in mind that because they are wild, we depend on some luck and right timing to
spot them. We also have chance of seeing other wildlife including marmots, foxes, birds or
roe deer.
