    Beautiful place to visit
    Great place to visit no matter what time of year it is. I happened to be visiting in late January, so it was very cold, lots of snow, just beautiful. No people around so it felt like the whole park belonged to me. Peace and quite. I did dog sledding, visited the monastery, stayed in Terelj Star Resort. Great views, mountains, snow, amazing memories. Totally recommend. And of course the Turtle Rock! haha

    Must visit.
    Pristine and breathtaking nature rolled out in all its splendour. Raw and unspoilt. No "touristy" things. We experienced stay in Ger of basic standard,clean bathroom and Mongolian food.Being vegetarian the folks there had modified some of their food to reasonable standard. There are some upmarket resorts but we preffered a basic one.

    just take walk and long way but worth of it
    since i dont hire a car as time more feasible & price issue (sad for no more hitchhike at here), i take walk by my pace n did over 10 hours visit including from my gh to main visit place(a bit far for Turtle Rock & Aryapala Temple as gh has another good trekking near around) but still ok as overall environment & view is good. Turtle Rock is funny one. love it.

Yes yes yes

So green. Rolling hills and small mountains.
Turtle rock and monastery.
But getting kinda touristy with lotsa development and half built properties.
Certainly stay at one of the ger camps-hotels and go to giant Khan on your way back to UB

Great landscape and accommodation

This is a very beautiful National Park, with mountains, boulders and pines all spread out in a grand pleasant view. There are many good accommodations.

Warning

Do you dream of untouched sceneries and roaming nomads? Do not waste your time to go to Terelj, if you plan to remain in the southern part of the aerea. Unfortunately, the aerea up to the Turtle rock and the little village of Terelj is badly spoilt and degraded by too many camps, often with ugly buildings, unfinished hotel complexes, ruins of buildings. In Terelji, the woods and little rivers are littered with waste. All the aerea must have been splendid 30 years ago! You will find what you were dreaming of, when you dreamt of Mongolia, if you pass and leave Terelj towards Chagin Char Nuut and the Temple of the princess. I just hope that this part of the aerea will remain unspoiled.
