  Kharkhorin ancient capital city

Although considered as an ancient capital, there are very few remains left from this historic place. We will visit the one of the largest and oldest Buddhist monasteries named “Erdene Zuu” which was built upon the ruins and foundations of the capital Kharhorin in 1586. Luckily it survived communist purges in 1937 and was re-opened as a museum.
  • Excursion to the local museum of Kharhorin city where you will explore traces of Mongolian history dating from the early Stone Age to the Great Mongolian Empire. The museum offers great collections of items that were found from various excavations and expeditions around Kharhorin and Orkhon Valley. Following the museum, we will stopover by other sites such as phallic rock and Turtle Rocks.

In the years of bountiful rainfalls, the waterfall becomes majestic creating rainbows over its currents.
