• White Stupa is a steep 30-meter-high mountain shaped like a stupa, revered for centuries by the Mongols. Travelers will be amazed by these magnificent lunar landscapes, reminiscent of the end of the world, and by the numerous fossils found in this region, which was covered by the sea millions of years ago.

• Yol Canyon translates into English as the canyon of bearded vultures. You can walk along the bottom of the canyon, which is covered with a blanket of eternal ice. It is so steep that the sun's rays only manage to melt the ice that covers the canyon for the rest of the year from August onwards.

Visit the Bayanzag cliffs, better known today as the “flaming cliffs” due to their ochre and red hues, where the “dragon cemetery” is located. These cliffs, along with the surrounding saxaul forests, witnessed a time when the earth was still populated by gigantic creatures: dinosaurs. Paleontologist Roy Andrews Chapman was the first to discover dinosaur bones and eggs there in 1922, which can now be seen in the Natural History Museum in Ulaanbaatar and in many other museums around the world.

Horgo-Terkhiin-Tsagaan Nuur National Park is located in central Mongolia, in Arkhangai Province, in the village of Tariat. The park was established in 1965 to protect the unique landscapes of the northern Khangai Mountains and to conserve the rare plant and animal species that inhabit the region. Covering 77,267 hectares, the park includes mountains, basalt cliffs, lava valleys, crevasses, caves, lakes, and rivers. The park's main natural attractions are Lake Terhijn-Tsagaan Nuur and the extinct volcano Khorgo-uul. Lake Terkhiy-Tsagaan Nuur, which means Great White Lake in Mongolian, is located at an altitude of 2,060 meters above sea level, has an area of 61 square kilometers, and an average depth of 20 meters. Most of the year, the lake is covered with ice. In summer, it is possible to swim there, but even on hot days, the water in the reservoir is quite cold. Three kilometers east of the lake is an extinct volcano, Khorgo-uul, with a height of 2,240 meters. The volcano was active 8,000 years ago, and traces of its eruptions are still visible today—lava fields with crevasses and caves, basalt blocks, and molten rocks. The lava flows ejected from the mouth of the volcano blocked the Hoyd-Tarkhin-Gol River, giving rise to the Great White Lake. The volcano's crater has a diameter of 200 meters and a depth of 70 to 80 meters. You can climb to the top of Khorgo-uul via a path that winds along the slope of the volcano. Visitors can go trekking, swim in the lake, or fish.

Its water volume is 381 km³, and its maximum depth is 262 m. Khuvsgul is the deepest lake in Mongolia. The lake is 136 km long and 36.5 km wide at its widest point.

The ice begins to melt in May and finishes melting in early June. The water temperature varies between +10 and +14 °C. Khuvsgul's second name is the Blue Pearl. It is one of seventeen ancient lakes, more than 2 million years old. The lake region is a strictly protected national park, a transition zone between the Central Asian steppe and the Siberian taiga.

Built in 2008, the 40-meter-high complex of equestrian statues of Genghis Khan (Chinggis Khan) in Tsonjun Boldog has quickly become one of Mongolia's must-see attractions. The imposing statue on the banks of the Tuul River, with Terelj National Park in the background, offers a majestic setting and a sight not to be missed.

Genghis Khan on horseback currently holds the record for the tallest equestrian statue in the world. Visitors can climb to the top of the horse's head to get a closer look at the khan himself and admire the beautiful landscape of Tsonjin Boldog and the Tuul River.

At the foot of the statue, you will find the visitor center, which houses a huge two-story traditional Mongolian boot, a 5-meter sword, an archaeological museum, a small souvenir shop, and a restaurant.
