Full-day Outside Ulaanbaatar
Excellent price performance. It’s a group tour (trip) with little interaction with the driver. You get where you need to go and it’s a full day experience.

Great budget Tour
Great opportunity to visit all the famous places. Great and gentle driver. Enough time and no rush on sights. Stop for lunch in a traditional Ger Restaurant, great food, good price.

Fun activity in mongolia
A great activity when in mongolia, Ride was comfortable, its mostly a transfer service, the driver takes you to points of interest, waits for you to go around and takes you to the next, we didn’t feel rushed. Highly recommended!

Good driver, took us to...
Good driver, took us to all the spots listed in time. She talked on the phone half the trip. Yabbering away in Mongolian. It was kinda funny
via Viator
The vast outer Ulaanbaatar regions.
This was a simple yet personally profound tour for me and my friend. It is basically just being driven around and given times to return to the vehicle, which is perfect without all the talking non-stop that some tours in other countries have! I recommend this if you want to do your own thing, but also remember to take snacks as the drive takes several hours during the day.

Terelj National Park Via Genghis Khan Statue Full Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ulaanbaatar.
How much does Terelj National Park Via Genghis Khan Statue Full Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $35 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 Via Genghis Khan Statue Full Day Tour 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 Terelj National Park Via Genghis Khan Statue Full Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 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 Via Genghis Khan Statue Full 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 Via Genghis Khan Statue Full Day Tour 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 Terelj National Park Via Genghis Khan Statue Full 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Terelj National Park Via Genghis Khan Statue Full 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 Via Genghis Khan Statue Full Day Tour?

Does Terelj National Park Via Genghis Khan Statue Full Day Tour include hotel pickup?
