Verdant swaths of empty landscapes are sprinkled with tiny gers (traditional yurts), while magical light plays across the valleys. This is the Mongolian heartland, loaded with both historical sites and natural beauty.

- take a break from Ulaanbaatar and head to the nearby hills and valleys of Gorkhi-Terelj National Park, best explored on a hike or via horseback

- visit history-laden Kharkhorin for the ancient temples and ruined remains of Erdene Zuu Khiid, Mongolia’s first Buddhist monastery
