The
Orkhon Valley is located on both banks of the Orkhon River in central
Mongolia, about 360 km west of Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. The
valley's cultural landscape has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage
Site as an illustration of the nomadic tradition that has been
cultivated for over 2000 years.
For centuries, the Orkhon Valley has been regarded as the seat of the king
of steps. Its name appears in history in the "Orhon Inscription"
erected in this valley by Bilge Khaan in the 8th century. The mountains
that make up the valley were sacred as the Axis of the world in Tengri
worship, but Otuken was especially special. The Orkhon Valley is home to
the Orkhon inscription, the ruins of Khar Balgas, the ruins of Kharkhorin,
the capital of Genghis Khan, and the Erdene Zuu Monastery.
Near this area, there are only dunes in Burd. The fine-grained sand dunes
have beautiful wind patterns drawn by the wind. Locally known as Elsen
Tasarhai, the beautiful contrast between grasslands and dunes is also a
popular travel landscape.
Khugnu Khan has been a national special reserve since 1997. Mount Khugnu
Khaan in the village of Gurvan Bulag in Bulgan Province is 1962 meters
above sea level. There are deer, wild boar, wolf, roe deer and other animals,
birch and larch forests on Khugnu Khaan. Located 280 kilometers west of
Ulaanbaatar, near Burd, this camp is in a very quiet environment with very
dazzling blue skies and white clouds, and nothing else around it other
than the towering Mount Khugnu Khaan. The real nomadic homestay is here.
Horseback riding is also possible in the Thai grasslands. There are two
Buddhist temples on Mount Khugnu Khaan.
The capital of Arkhangai, about 11 hours by land from Ulaanbaatar to the
west. Furthermore, there is a natural hot spring in the back. An open-air
bath in the grassland called Ugudei Khaan's hidden hot spring. It has been
selected as one of the 100 hot springs in the world.
Its source is 86 degrees Celsius, and it is a natural grassland hot spring
that flows directly from the source, boasting an abundant amount of hot
water. It has been selected as one of the 100 best hot springs in the world.
It is one of the tourist destinations in Central Mongolia that people who
like hot springs should keep in mind.
It takes 8 hours drive from Ulaanbaatar. The accommodation is a collection
of gels for tourists. It is a perfect place to relax in the hot springs
while gazing at the beautiful forests and prairie of Mongolia.
Undur Shireet is a campsite in the best location, 200 km southwest of Ulaanbaatar,
halfway between Karakorum and on the banks of the Tuul River, which runs
through the prairie.
Its beauty is clear from the fact that it was selected as the filming location
for the movie "White Horse" directed by Makoto Shiina and the
CM for Kubota. This campsite is a campsite with special permission from
the village of Undurshireet, so there are no other campsites around. There
are no other facilities, town lights, or electric wires, so it's perfect
for seeing the stars in the sky!

wind blows through the Mongolian steppes. Horseback riding experience is
also possible.
