Amazing, fun, excellent tour
Wow -- this tour company was excellent. We tried 2 other companies - Tour radar and Viator. Tour Radar was good, but Juulchin was better. Viator tours we do not recommend. Juulchin set up a tour at the last minute after a tour set up by Viator was a no-show the morning of the scheduled tour - in fact, the Viator tour guide did not answer phone calls or text messages - basically took our money and no one showed (we did finally get a refund from Viator, but not worth it.) In contrast, Juulchin was at the hotel within an hour of the call. The driver and tour guide were fun, and interesting and the guide had excellent English and was a wealth of information. In addition to the statute, we visited a nomadic family that provided us with a horse tour. The lunch was one of the best we had in Mongolia. We looked to see if we could use them for other tours but were unable to cancel prior scheduled tours. Juulchin will be our go-to when we return.

Excellent guiding
We have had 3 days in Mongolia and our guide Lola was exeptional. She really went out of her way to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Her knowledge of Mongolian history was outstanding and pitched at just the right level. She also had a very good sense of humour. I would strongly recommend this guide from this company
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review. I so appreciate you taking the time to share your experience here and it was our pleasure to have you as a guest. Hope to see you again in Mongolia.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Terelj National Park, Chinggis Khan Statue Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ulaanbaatar.
How much does Terelj National Park, Chinggis Khan Statue Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $184 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 Terelj National Park, Chinggis Khan Statue Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Terelj National Park, Chinggis Khan Statue Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 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 Terelj National Park, Chinggis Khan Statue Day Tour?
+
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 Terelj National Park, Chinggis Khan Statue Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Terelj National Park, Chinggis Khan Statue Day Tour?
+
Around 5 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Terelj National Park, Chinggis Khan Statue Day Tour 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 Terelj National Park, Chinggis Khan Statue Day Tour?
+
Included: Local guide; Bottled water; National Park fees; Lunch; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Gratuities; and Horse ride. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Terelj National Park, Chinggis Khan Statue Day Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 32 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 Terelj National Park, Chinggis Khan Statue Day Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, English and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
