Kharkhorin
Erdene Zuu Khiid was built in 16th Century using materials from the destroyed city, but was later badly damaged during the Stalinist purges of 1937, when the monks were either killed or deported to Siberia. This put the monastery completely out of business until 1965 when it was allowed to reopen as a museum, and then once again as a place of worship after the collapse of communism in 1990. At its peak, the monastery had 60-100 temples and 300 gers inside the walls plus 1,000 monks in residence.

Not worth your money
This wasn’t worth the money I paid for it and I can’t recommend it to others. I should have bought one of the cheaper packages from another tour company, but this one had glowing reviews. Although she was very sweet, the tour guide was very quiet and didn’t offer me a lot of guidance throughout my tour. When I asked about the turtle statue that’s supposed to be near Kharkhorin, the tour guide exclaimed that it was near the museum and “didn’t I see it?!” But she never pointed it out to me, and I wish she had. They did then drive me up to the top of the mountain to see one of the other ones. The next day at the Semi-Ghobi I was put on a camel and a man walked me to the first sand dune, took a photo of me, and then turned around- a whole 5 minute excursion. The tour guide argued with him about this, but he refused to take me out again and in the end the driver of the tour then took the camel and walked me around the sand dunes for awhile. The whole time I felt a little disappointed however at how little guidance I was given throughout my tour. I spent a lot of time listening to other tour guides, rather than the one I paid. It was really awkward.
Response from the operator: Thank you for a review . We will work on improve our company guide

An excellent adventure! Would highly recommend this tour company.
I had an excellent time on this two day tour to Central Mongolia. Great to get out of the city and see Mongolia’s incredibly beautiful countryside. The roads are pretty bumpy, but our amazing driver did a great job of avoiding the major potholes. Jagaa was an exceptional guide. He has a fantastic knowledge of his country and his English was excellent. We were able to discuss all sorts of topics. He was flexible and accommodating, with great written communication before I arrived in Mongolia. The night in the yurt was comfortable and really warm. Shared bathroom facilities, but luckily a modern toilet. Phew! I would highly recommend this tour to anybody travelling solo. At all times I felt safe and well cared for, despite being the only person on the tour, and heading off into the Mongolian wilderness. A beautiful country to explore, and the guys at Danista Nomads Tours made that all possible. 🙏
Response from the operator: Thank you for a review I wish happy and healthy life Have a nice time in Japan with a son

Interesting and engaging visit to Mongolia's ancient capital
Great trip to Kharkhoren at the end of a business visit to Mongolia, provided by Danista Nomads. The team of Saruul (guide) and Pugi (driver) were great - very cheerful throughout 800 km driving in 2 days. Saruul gave us some information, but not too much - she was well informed about history/culture, maybe a bit less so about wildlife. It was a pleasure to spend a couple of days with them. They were flexible about including a small extra visit to another location that I wanted to see. The only downside of this particular trip is that there's a lot of driving, but that's Mongolia for you. It's a big old country. We knew what to expect, and the views throughout the drive to Kharkhoren and back were always interesting. One other note - Jagaa kindly highlighted how we could save some money on our booking, which was much appreciated. Mongolia is a great country to visit, and thank you to Danista Nomads.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 Day Central Mongolian Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ulaanbaatar.
How much does 2 Day Central Mongolian Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $394 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 2 Day Central Mongolian Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 2 Day Central Mongolian Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 4 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 2 Day Central Mongolian Adventure?
+
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 2 Day Central Mongolian Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 Day Central Mongolian Adventure?
+
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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Day Central Mongolian Adventure 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.
What is included in 2 Day Central Mongolian Adventure?
+
Included: Private transportation; Lunch; All Fees and Taxes; and water for drink. Not included: snacks, alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 2 Day Central Mongolian Adventure include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 6 listed pickup locations in and around Ulaanbaatar. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 2 Day Central Mongolian Adventure offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 2 Day Central Mongolian Adventure?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is 2 Day Central Mongolian Adventure wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
