From Ulaanbaatar: UNESCO Bogd Khan Mountain & Monastery

The positive:The driver, an older gentleman, was very friendly. The landscape was very beautiful. The negative, which unfortunately outweighed the positive:We were driven in a very rickety car in which you could clearly feel every pothole, and there were many.The driver, who was also supposed to be our guide, could hardly speak English, he couldn't tell us anything about the culture or the sights, which was a shame, because according to the tour description, this was part of the tour. The monastery museum was closed and the ride to the monastery was not possible either, as there were no horses there, so everything was very poorly organized. When we asked clearly about the ride, we were told that we would get a ride to another monastery, which was 45 minutes away. In the end, we were on the road for 80 minutes and ended up in a completely different national park, one that we already knew.The ride took place directly on and next to the road, cars drove right past us.

A great day - thanks!! A lovely trek to the monastery with amazing scenery!! Then some horse-riding and a traditional lunch!! Would highly recommend!!
