Terelj National park is recognized
as a part of the huge Khan Khentii reserve and
was established as a Strictly Protected Area
in 1992. The park's most spectacular features
are its huge granite blocks and cliffs as well
as meadows rich in wild flowers. Terelj offers
fascinating rock formations against a background
of pine covered mountains.
The average elevation is about
1600 m., with peaks reaching 2900 m. The park
is rich in flora and fauna and reminds of beautiful
Alpine valleys. The distance from Ulaanbaatar
is nearly 50 km. Its green meadows carpeted
with Edelweiss and a dazzling variety of other
wild flowers attract nature lovers. Typical
round rock masses determine the look of the
overwhelming nature. It is a wonderful hiking
and horse riding area. You can visit a nomad's
family or just let yourself be absorbed in the
silence of nature. Only the central area, 1
km. left and right beside the main road are
some small gercamps and a small village. The
rest of the area is uninhabited and can be entered
only by foot or horseback.
