Khorgo Volcano & White Lake National Park (Cultural Tour)

Door Knocker at Erdene Zuu Monestary ©OTMTThis tour is a chance to experience the best of Mongolian culture and a variety of landscapes and activities. The route passes through all the different geographical zones of Mongolia: desert, steppe, mountain and forest, and there are many unusual features in this central region such as volcano's, hot springs and gorges.

We start in the Orkhon Valley, site of Chinggis Khaan's capital in the 13th century, where we visit Erdene Zuu Buddhist monastery. Passing through Arkhangai Province we reach the White Lake on the edge of the Khangai mountain range. It is a beautiful area, ideal for hiking and horse riding. Here we will spend a day with a nomadic yak-breeding family, experiencing their simple way of life and observing their daily routine.
