Gorkhi-Terelj National Park, near Ulaanbaatar, is a popular destination offering stunning landscapes with granite mountains, forests, and meadows. Activities include hiking, horseback riding, visiting the Turtle Rock formation, and exploring Aryabal Meditation Temple. Accessibility can be limited, with some areas more easily reached by vehicle; consider a 4x4, especially during wetter months. While solo exploration is possible, guided tours are recommended for deeper cultural insights and navigating the vast terrain. The best time to visit is during the warmer months (June-September), as winter can be extremely cold with heavy snowfall restricting access to some parts of the park. Expect to spend approximately $50-$150 per day, depending on accommodation and activities. A typical visit lasts 1-3 days.
