From there a pleasant free walk, following the stream, leads to a gorge full of ice. In winter ice is up to 10 m high,  and continues down  the gorge for another 10 km. It remains frozen for most of the year, except for about a month starting in late August. It is impossible to reach in winter. The surrounding hills offer plenty of opportunities for some good things, if somewhat strenuous day hikes. If you lucky you might spot ibex or argali wild sheep along the steep valley ridges.

In the early 1920 newspapers brought news of the discovery of dinosaur eggs in the southern Gobi Desert by American traveler Roy Chapman Andrews. This place known as flaming cliffs discovered  by the paleontologist, Roy Chapman Andrew. First dug in 1922, it is popular of dinosaur bones and eggs found in the area, which you can see in the museum  of Natural History in Ulaanbaatar or mostly, in other museums around the world. It is classic desert of rock, red sands, scrub sun and awesome emptiness.

A number of domestic and foreign scholars have investigated the site of Kharkhorin city since end of the 19th century. These investigations have revealed that in Kharkhorin there were palaces, temples, shops, military stores and residential quarters within a rectangular wall pierced by gates at each of the four cardinal directions. It is believed that Kharkhorin was founded in 1220 when Chinggis Khaan sited his head quarters on the bank of the Orkhon river Thanks to monk Rubruck an envoy of French King Saint Louis who was received by Mangu Khan in 1256, we have following description of Kharkhorin. The city had two quarters – artisan and trading. Then there were 12 shrines of various people, two mosques and one Christian Church .Kharkhorin  was surrounded by an earthen  wall, brisk trade was in progress at all  the four gates. Before Tumen  Amgalan Khan’s palace Rubruck was amazed to see fountain in the shape of a huge silver tree. After Chinggis Khan’s death building was completed by his son Ogedoo Khan but Kharkhorin was not the capital of the empire for long. Chinggis Khan’s grand son Kublai Khan moved his court to Khanbalig (Now Beijing ) Kharkhorin fell into decay never to regain it’s one time grandeur Later destroyed by hordes of Manchurian soldiers. Whatever Kharkhorin’s left was used to help build the Erdene zuu monastery. 

In 1586 when the Mongolian Khan Abtaisai returned home from his long pilgrimage to Tibet, he founded the first Buddhist monastery for it’s beauty it was named Erdene Zuu or Hundred Treasures. Erdene zuu was the first Buddhist monastery in Mongolia It is surrounded by a monumental wall with 108 stupas measuring 400x400 meters. Each of the four  sites of the wall has a tower gat. In 1792 there were 62 temples. 500 buildings with about 1000 lamas inside the surrounded wall. It houses considerable historical and cultural values – statues of deities, ritual masks and costumes, canvases on religious motifs, samples of mural and ceiling painting, articles, made by crafts men. Erdene –Zuu‘s temples were destroyed by the anti religious campaign of Stalin of the 1930s and an unknown number of monks killed. The monastery remained closed until 1965 when it was permitted to reopen as a museum.

Ulaanbaatar  the capital of Mongolia is located in north-central Mongolia on the Tula river. The pine covered mountains, wide boulevards, squares, parks and ger  communities which surround the central Monastery and cover the slopes north of the city, combine to give the city a spacious  rustic charm. Ulaanbaatar was established in 1639 by a lord of them Khalha tribe, Tushet Khan Gombodorj, when he named his five year old son Zanabazar  head of  the Buddhist religion in Mongolia. The nomadic encampment shifted from place to place until 1778  when it settled in it’s present location north of the Bogd Khan mountain. Ugru grew quickly, eventually becoming the religious, commercial and administrative center of the country. Despite the town’s importance, most of the citizens lived in gers, grouped according to social position, occupation and nationality. There were district for monks, lords, merchants, craftsmen and Russian and Chinese inhabitant all governed by the Living Buddha, Bogd Khan In 1924 after the People’s Revolution the city was renamed Ulaanbaatar (Red Hero) in honor of Sukhbaatar, a hero of the revolution.

Khustain Nuruu is a mountain forest steppe area of 57000 hectare of the southern part of  Hentii mountains and situated 100 km south west of Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. The Khustai Nuruu Reserve ( Khustai is Mongolian for birch and Nuruu means mountain range ). The Przewalski horse or Takhi as the Mongolian name them are rather small, sturdy animals with a short strong neck. There are ( dune sand colored  all over except for a dark stripe running along the spine into the dark colored tail, covered by light dock hairs. The nose is cream colored and legs show zebra stripes.

Their erect manes and tails are dark brown. Their species was named  after the man who rediscovered it in 1878 Colonel Nicolai Przewalski, is the last remaining wild horse species in the world. The Takhi are highly respected in Mongolian culture as the wild ancestor of horse. The increasing  human population drove the Przewalski horse to remote areas and eventually they were forced of the steppe into the Gobi desert in south west of Mongolia. The harsh living conditions in the desert reduced the changes of survival and when the desert was also inhabited by nomads with their domestic horses, camels, and sheep the number of Przewalski horses decreased dramatically. The intensive hunting Przewalski horses by the Kazaks was final flow. The last Takhi was seen in 1969   near Gun Tamga. The Khustain Nuruu Reserve is executed by the Dutch Foundation Reserves. Przewalski Horse (FRPH) and the Mongolian Association for Conservation of Nature and Environment – (MACNE) they decided to breed Takhi in Mongolia On July 5th 1992 the first 16 Przewalski Horses arrived in their motherland Mongolia 8 horses from the semi –reserve in 1994, 1996 and 1998 – another 52 Przewalski horses arrived in Khustai Nuruu in 1996 two Przewalski stallion from the Cologne Zoo and one Przewalski mare from Port Lympne Zoological Garden which were kept for years on pasture land, were added to enlarge the genetic diversity.

The complex of Amarbayasgalant Monastery was  built during 1727- 1736 in honor of Under Gegeen  Zanabazar, the first Bogd of Mongolia. In 1710 the Manchurian emperor Syuan –Ye ordered that a monastery complex be erected in honor of Under Gegeen  Zanabazar, an unrivalled sculptor, and notable religious figure. However the plan was not to be realized during the lifetimes of  the great master and his emperor. Luckily, the emperor’s son Yunjin inherited not only his father’s throne but also his plans. In the summer of 1727, in the area of Ikh –Khuree at the foothills of Mountain Burenkhan, construction was started the like of which Mongolia had not seen before. Within seven years Mongolian builders erected 14 majestic temples, including Tsogchindugan (the main chapel ) leelfry, the drum tower the grandiose sanctuaries of the Gods Ayush and Maidar and temple of the monastery walls. When building the Amarbayasgalant the Mongolian architect managed to escape the influences of Tibetan Buddhist architecture. One of the interesting solutions is routing of roof water through the inside of four columns, under the floor, through stone grooves and away from the Tsogchin temple. The scenery of this area is extraordinary. The interior of Amarbayasgalant was decorated with gilded bronze sculptures, wall frescoes, applique icons and paintings on silk. In 1930-1938, hundreds of beautiful historical monuments were destroyed Amarbayasgalant didn’t escape their fate. Today we are restoring what has been ruined by time and ignorant people.

People usually think of Mongolia as a country of  sun scorched  steppes and waterless Gobi desert. Actually one can come across those boundless steppes only in the east of the country, while the major part of Mongolia is comparatively well supplied with water. Most of Mongolian rivers and lakes are concentrated in the northern part of country, including the largest fresh water lake Khuvsgul  This lake is fed by about a hundred rivers and rivulets running from the Alpine meadows of the Khangai Only the river Egiin Gol, a tributary to the Selenga has it’s source in it. The water in the Khuvsgul lake is almost devoid of salts and organic substances, one can easily see pebbles at the bottom and fish at a depth of ten meters .The taiga forest which girdles the lake comprises 25 per-cent of the country’s forest resources.
Try to figure out a 2760 sq km alpine lake, with water so clean you can drink it. In surface area this is the second – largest lake (136 km long and 30 km wide )deep 262m Khuvsgul Nuur is the deepest lake (up to 262) in Central Asia and the world’s fourteenth  largest source of fresh water containing between 1% and 2% of the worlds fresh water that’s 380,700billion liters of water Khuvsgul is the younger sibling of Siberia’s lake Backlit is full of fish such as lennok and sturgeon and area is home to argal sheep, ibex, bear, sable and moose as well as over 200 species of birds, including the Baikal teal, bar, headed goose, black stork and Altai snow cock.

It is a monument of national architecture of the early 20th century. In it is time it was the religious center of Mongolia. Now it is a museum and tourist attraction. The temples and cloisters were built to commemorate special days in honor of Buddha and holly lamas. More over any lama who had attained a high position in the church hierarchy was entitled to his own monastery bearing his name where he would preside. Monastery was the home of Luvsan Haidav  Choijin lama in Mongolia, Bogdo-gegen 8  largely thanks to that his career went in leaps. Already as a youth Luvsanhaidav was given the highest church honors and had title of ‘’Preserver of holy faith named Choizhin –Lama  from heaven‘’.
How ever in all fairness, it must be said that the promotion of the young monk was not only thanks to the protection of relative, but to his great ability as well. He was a talented  actor and producer of Tsam mysteries plays.
Construction of the monastery commenced in 1904 and was completed four years later. There are five temples within the grounds. The first temple you see the temple of the Maharaja. The luxuriant beauty of it‘s inner and outer decoration is striking in the center the sanctuary the gold sculpture of Buddha and followers of his teachings among them Choijin lama tower over the altar. In this temple the main religious rites were performed. Therefore all types of religious accoutrements are on display here: musical instrument, prayer drums and priests robes. Of special interest are the Tsam masks made of papermache and incrusted with coral and precious stones. There are work of the famous Mongolian sculptor of the last century. (Puntsag –Osor) Colossal items of chased copper and bronze of the 17th to the 19th century and depicting darmapals –defenders of faith are on display in the temple. Of no less interest is the material silk applique decorating the walls of the temple. It shows scenes from the life of Buddhist gods and saints. 

The museum was established in 1924 under the initial name of the National Museum and in 1940-1941. Since 1992 it was changed into Museum of Natural History. At the present time the museum becomes a historical museum of the natural research works covering the basic branches of the study of geology, geography, flora  and fauna, paleontology and anthropology.  In particular, the section of geology and geography shows, systematically the peculiarities of Mongolian geography the rationality.
Khoshoo Tsaidam /Khultegin monument/
When Chinggis khaan decided to move his capital to Kharakhorum, he was well aware that the region had already been capital to successive nomad empires. About 20km north-east of Khar Balgas lies the remainder of yet another of these pre-Mongol empires, the Turkic Kharganat. All that’s left of the Kharganat is the 3m-high inscribed monument of Kultgin /684-731/, the khagan /ruler/ himself. Just over 1km away is another monument to Bilge Khagan /683-734/, younger brother of Kultegin. Ten years after the death of Bilge the Turkic Kharganat was overrun by the Uighurs. 
The monuments are 25 km northwest of Khashaat in a region called Tsaidam, about 47 km north of Kharakhorum, and are hard to find. Amateur historians who relish a challenge are best off packing a GPS into their jeep; otherwise ask at gers en route from either Khashaat or Ogii Nuur.
