“The most incredible experience. Never in my life did I expect to herd wild horses as the sun set, then proceed to see the total lunar eclipse from a site that was spectacular and devoid of light pollution. 12 stars out of 10. Gigi and Mickey were great guides, and allowed us to build a campfire to appreciate our special night under the eclipse.”

“Absolutely amazing. I had very little knowledge, understanding of Mongolia or its history and had an amazing time learning and seeing some of the beautiful and interesting parts of Ulaanbaatar. Manduul the guide was super chilled and good energy; and was happy to be flexible on pick up time. He also helped me organise a guide fir the following day for a trip to the national park and drop to the airport. Also gave me excellent restaurant recommendation for the evening... and took some amazing photos for me. 100% book if you are heading to Ulaanbaatar”

4.Best Price :Terelj National Park Best Non-Guided Transfers

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 12 reviews · 9 hours · from $36Best value

Review of a $36 non-guided day transfer from Ulaanbaatar to Terelj National Park, with Chinggis Khan Statue, Turtle Rock, and practical tips.

“They sent a car and driver instead of a bus with no price change; that was nice. Driver spoke no english but it was a non-guided tour anyway. Driver, Mina (sp?), was great. Language barrier made it more entertaining. A little communication would have been nice on their behalf, I was expecting bus. Otherwise all good.”

“Buhuu the owner of Mongolia Explorer Tours personally gave me a private tour. As I have been to most of the tourist places I asked for something different. He brought me to see the Ger community area where the once nomadic people live in urban area today. The local food is delicious.”
