Central Mongolia Winter tour /6 days/
SHORT DESCRIPTION
Embark on a brief but enriching journey to the ancient capital of Karakorum, where the remnants of the once-mighty Mongol Empire whisper tales of bygone glory. Karakorum's fate was sealed by internal conflicts, with its stones repurposed to shape the walls of the Erdene Zuu Monastery. In a realm of nomads, where impermanence defined cities, this visit offers a unique perspective on the ephemerality of the nomadic lifestyle. Explore the historical tapestry of Karakorum, situated along the ancient Silk Road, and delve into nearby sites that unravel the intricate threads of Mongolia's natural and human history. Mongolia, a signatory to UNESCO's World Heritage Convention, initially had one site on the prestigious list. A significant addition was proposed—the 'Cultural Landscape of the Orkhon Valley.' This valley, an archaeological treasure trove, bears witness to a continuous human presence spanning over 100,000 years. Revered as the cradle of Central Asian nomadic civilizations, the Orkhon Valley witnessed the footprints of diverse ancient peoples, including the Huns and the Uighur, from the 3rd century B.C. Immerse yourself in the therapeutic waters of Tsenher, a hot spring boasting temperatures of 85 degrees Celsius, with healing properties attributed to its hydrogen sulfide content. This health spa beckons tourists to indulge in rejuvenating indoor and outdoor baths, offering a tranquil interlude in the heart of Mongolia's cultural and natural heritage.
