High granite stone mountains with forest-covered northern slopes, multitudes of wildflower meadows along with the spectacular shape rocks formed by wind is a favorite scenery for the visitors. Fast-flowing rivers and streams make the national park more beautiful.
An average altitude of the 293.168 ha national park is 1600 m above sea level and the highest point is 2664 m Avkhan mountain. The national park is one of the most visited national parks due to its close location. There are numerous ger camps and resorts in the tourist zone before the Terelj River. The rest of the protection zones start after the Terelj River and become less touristy, less inhabited with pristine nature. The depths of the mountain forest are rich in wild animals, including boar, red deer, roe deer, fox, wolves, etc while birds of prey fly everywhere. Except for the natural beauty, Terelj was a mining area of smokestone, amethyst, and pure crystal till 1960.
This 40 m tall statue is located on a hillside on the bank of the Tuul River in an area called Tsonjin Boldog and connected to capital Ulaanbaatar by 54 km paved road.
Tsonjin Boldog was chosen according to the legend that Genghis Khan found a whip in this area. In Mongolia, people believe that man finding a whip is a sign of fortune, good destiny, and occasion.
The statue faces east, the direction of Genghis Khan’s birthplace, and the sunrise. If you stretch your eyes to the east, you will see a small statue of his mother greeting him.
The statue is on a great day trip distance away from Ulaanbaatar and combining the statue with a visit to the Gorkhi Terelj National Park will be a good combination.
Inside the statue, you will tour the numerous portraits of the Khan lineage, see the evolution of the traditional nomadic dwelling gers, try on traditional Mongolian costumes for photos, visit souvenir shops or dine in a restaurant on the second floor.
The visitors take an elevator and walk to the horse head area through its chest and neck to the observation deck where you look out on panoramic views of the surrounding area, the Tuul River Valley and Khan Khentii Mountains, the birthplace of the khan.
The statue is open the year-round from 9 AM to 8 PM in summer and from 10 AM to 6 PM in winter.
