One of the two most popular short
trip destinations out of Ulaanbaatar is Bogd Khan National Park. Lying in the
south of Ulaanbaatar, Bogd Khan Mountain has been the most ancient national
park of the country since 300 years ago. The Bogd Khan contains sacred
mountains and rock carvings, over 300 plant varieties, animals such as boar,
fox, hare, wolf, squirrel, eagles and woodpeckers, plus a deer farm. You can
also visit the Manzushir Khid 18th century monastery in the southern reserve.
The Monastery overlooks a beautiful valley of streams and pine, birch trees,
dotted with granite boulders. Established in 1733, it had over 20 temples and
was once home to at least 300 monks. There are ample opportunities to explore
the nomad's lifestyle and sample airag, the fermented mare's milk that is the
traditional nomad beverage. This place is also ideal for trekking, hiking and
horse riding
