From Ulaanbaatar: Genghis Khan Statue NationalPark CamelRide - Rising to the horse’s neck at the statue complex

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 353 reviews · 8 hours · from $86Our pick

Review of Ulaanbaatar’s Genghis Khan Statue and Terelj tour, with camel riding, eagle photos, lunch in a ger, and practical booking advice.

“It was a nice experience! We started in the morning and got picked up. The statue itself was great and we got additional information about the mongols and the statue in the museum. Moreover we were allowed to dress in traditional clothing, hold an eagle, do archery and ride camels. Next stop was lunch which was tasty (also vegetarian options). Then we went to the turtle stone and a monastery. All in all it was relaxed and we had enough time to look all around.”

“Had such a great day on the tour to the Genghis Khan Statue and Terelj National Park! Our guide Jana was fantastic – so friendly, enthusiastic, and funny. She always knew the best spots for views and photos, and even helped take lots of great pictures for me. The park is huge, but Jana managed the time well, so we could explore the highlights without feeling rushed. The scenery along the way was stunning, and we got back to the city around 4 pm. Lunch was another highlight – traditional Mongolian lamb stew and soup, absolutely delicious. I’d happily join Jana’s tour again!”

Ride a Bactrian camel across Mongolia’s Mini Gobi, meet a nomadic family, eat lunch in a ger, and take the long scenic road from Ulaanbaatar.

“My husband and I recently travelled to Mongolia. We arrived a couple of days before our organized tour in part to enjoy the Semi-Gobi tour. We waited outside our hotel for over 1.5 hours and our pickup never arrived. We texted - no answer. We called and asked the hotel staff to call on our behalf and we were told that the phone number provided on the Viator website was not viable. This was a HUGE disappointment. We are STILL waiting for our refund.”
