Amazing experience
Amazing experience! My guide Odko was extremely helpful and nice. The temple and the surroundings are really beautiful, they worth a visit! Just pay attention, if you'd like to see the statues you have to climb a bit. (Nothing difficult but better let everyone know)
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had an amazing experience and that Odko was helpful and friendly — we'll be sure to pass on your compliments. We're also glad you enjoyed the beauty of the temple and its surroundings. Thank you for the helpful tip about the short climb to the statues — it's great advice for future visitors. We hope to welcome you back again someday!

Aglag Buteel is beautiful
There was a big miscommunication with my tour guide about what this tour should entail, the tour operator was very apologetic and made an effort to make up the missed part of the tour the next day however. I felt like on the first day of the tour to Aglag Buteel I recieved very little guidance, and more often then not I was being left behind and alone by my tour guide without much information about the temple. The next day the tour guide had to makeup the Gandan Temple part of the tour, and she offered a lot more guidance and instruction, it was much better. I understand I am quiet, but I still paid for a tour and I kind of felt like I could have just hired a driver to take me to Aglag Buteel for much less money and walked around by myself instead. The guidance I was given by the guide for the Gandan Temple part of the tour was much better, I hope that going forward that’s the kind of guidance each patron will receive.

Majestic Mongolian Monasteries
A fantastic tour up into the snow capped mountains. The hike up to the temple was steep but the view from the top was breathtaking.

1 Day Aglag Buteel Temple Tour- Meditation and Nature: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ulaanbaatar.
How much does 1 Day Aglag Buteel Temple Tour- Meditation and Nature cost?
+
Prices start at $217 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ulaanbaatar usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 1 Day Aglag Buteel Temple Tour- Meditation and Nature take?
+
Plan for about 8.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ulaanbaatar is not rushed.
Is 1 Day Aglag Buteel Temple Tour- Meditation and Nature worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ulaanbaatar, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 1 Day Aglag Buteel Temple Tour- Meditation and Nature?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 1 Day Aglag Buteel Temple Tour- Meditation and Nature suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 1 Day Aglag Buteel Temple Tour- Meditation and Nature?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ulaanbaatar can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ulaanbaatar and add a light layer if any part of the 8.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 1 Day Aglag Buteel Temple Tour- Meditation and Nature start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ulaanbaatar within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ulaanbaatar?
+
On Outty we rank every Ulaanbaatar experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include BEST 5* Chinggis Khaan Airport UBN Ulaanbaatar Transfer Taxi 24/7, A day trip to Terelj National Park and Statue of Chinggis Khan, Genghis Khan Statue+Terelj Park+CamelRide+Eagle. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ulaanbaatar?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ulaanbaatar?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
