Terelj National Park in autumn: golden larches and how to enjoy them

The charm of Terelj in autumn colors, and ideas for day trips and ger stays.
Best season
About 1 to 1.5 hours by car from Ulaanbaatar, Terelj National Park sees its larch trees turn golden from late September to early October. The calm colors are quite different from the green of summer.
Ways to enjoy it
- Horse riding and hiking among the golden trees
- Visiting Turtle Rock and Aryabal Meditation Temple
- Visiting a nomad family's ger and having a Mongolian lunch
- Staying at a ger camp and enjoying the night sky
Notes
Mornings and evenings get cold in autumn, so bring a light down jacket and gloves. Both day trips and overnight stays are available.
