Itinerary of your trip Orkhon Valley 2D 1N

  • Day 1 Kharkhorin-Erdenezuu
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Kharkhorin-Erdenezuu

      On the first day of our tour, early morning weโ€™ll drive to Kharkhorin and visit ErdeneZuu Monastery. In the mid-13th century, Karakorum was a happening place. Chinggis Khaan established a supply base here and his son Ugudei ordered the construction of a proper capital, a decree that attracted traders, dignitaries, and skilled workers from across Asia and even Europe.

      The good times lasted around 40 years until Kublai moved the capital to Khanbalik (later called Beijing), a decision that still incites resentment among some Mongolians. Following the move to Beijing and the subsequent collapse of the Mongol empire, Karakorum was abandoned and then destroyed by vengeful Manchurian soldiers in 1388.

      Whatever was left of Karakorum was used to help build Erdene Zuu Khiid in the 16th century, which itself was badly damaged during the Stalinist purges.

      The charmless Soviet-built town of Kharkhorin was built a couple of kilometers away from Erdene Zuu. There is little interest in the town and itโ€™s a big disappointment if youโ€™ve come expecting the glories of the Middle Ages, but a surge in tourism has improved local infrastructure. There are several ger camps in the area, each with a restaurant, plus some basic cafes in the center of town.


  • Day 2 Orkhon Valley
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Orkhon Valley

      Orkhon Valley demonstrates how a strong and persistent nomadic culture led to the development of extensive trade networks and the creation of large administrative, commercial, military, and religious centers. The empires undoubtedly influenced societies across Asia and into Europe and in turn, absorbed influence from both East and West in a true interchange of human values. This culture is still a revered and indeed central part of Mongolian society and is highly respected as a โ€™nobleโ€™ way to live in harmony with the landscape.
