Tour Overview

 Mongolia's two most accessible national parks, one legendary monument, and real nomadic life — all within 3 days from Ulaanbaatar. This compact tour is designed for travellers who want an authentic taste of Mongolia's wilderness without committing to a longer itinerary.

Day one takes you to the Giant Chinggis Khan Statue Complex — the Guinness World Record holder for the world's largest equestrian statue — before continuing into Terelj National Park, where dramatic granite formations, Turtle Rock, and the Temple of Meditation frame a landscape unlike anything in Central Asia. Day two crosses to Hustai National Park, where the world-famous Przewalski horse — the last truly wild horse species on earth — roams freely across open steppe alongside eagles, deer, and other wildlife. Along the way, a visit to a Mongolian nomadic family brings the landscape to life with warm milk tea, ger hospitality, and a glimpse into a way of life unchanged for centuries.

At a competitive price with ger camp accommodation and all meals included, this is the ideal short Mongolia tour for first-time visitors, stopover travellers, or anyone adding a Mongolia extension to a longer Asia trip.

Jun 04, 2026.  The Gobi & Karakorum Explorer

Aug 10, 2012. Gobi & Karakorum Explorer tour Our recent "The Gobi & Karakorum Explorer" tour with you was excellent, everything exceeded our expectations! It was a super trip in our lives and we loved our Mongolia holiday so much. Our guide Joe was kind, well organised, accurate and informative, polite and caring and always provided us with timely information. And our driver Jack is super, very friendly, professional and always on time. We are wild travelers, having been to many places in the world - but Mongolia is still truly unspoiled and uncontaminated. Selena Travel's services were perfect right from the very first email. We would like to thank Selena Travel, our guide and our driver for having made this Mongolia experience a truly beautiful one with so many wonderful memories.

Sending you some of our nicer pictures. Some are chosen for their beautiful scenery while the rest are just us happily playing and goofing around. There are a couple of shots of us doing some Mongolian wrestling, as suggested by Oyuna since we missed out on the mini-Naadam festival. She said since we missed it, we might as well organise our own festival by playing some Mongolian games. Haha... We had so much fun playing those games!!! :)OK, I hope you like the pictures we send you. Best regards to everyone at Selena Travel and thank you once again for all your assistance.
