A landlocked parliamentary republic in Central and East Asia, Mongolia is bordered by Russia (to the north) and the People's Republic of China (to the south, east and west); its capital Ulaanbaatar is home to more than a third of the country's population of approximately 2.9 million.
Near the birthplace of Mongolia's Great Unifier Chinggis Khaan (Ghengis Khan), the Terelj Hotel is 70 kilometers north of the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar; nestled amongst some of the most carefully protected parkland in the country, Gorkhi-Terelj National Park.
Pristine and right next door, Gorkhi-Terelj National Park in Mongolia's Tuv province offers the Terelj Hotel guests access to outdoor adventures from bird-watching to hiking and climbing or horseback riding through meadows of edelweiss, grassy steppes and forest-covered mountains.
The park is part of the Khan Khentii Strictly Protected Area, a vast, protected and almost uninhabited wilderness.
Although sparsely populated, the park is also home to nomadic Mongolians, offering you a chance to interact with the authentic people of Mongolia - hospitable, gracious and welcoming.
