About 25m downstream from the waterfall you can climb down to the bottom of the gorge; 22m deep and dotted with pine trees. Approximately 20.000 years ago, the waterfall was formed due to earthquake and merged from volcanic eruptions. However, the water doesn’t run all year and will only start to flow after the first good summer rain.
The waterfall can be reached in 4-5 hours from Kharkhorin (Karakorum) and in 2-3 hours from Tuvkhun temple. Travel routes from Gobi Desert to Central Mongolia passes close by the waterfall. The road to the waterfall is not easily accessible, owing to rocky surface of the area along the Orkhon river.

Day 5 WATERFALL TO TSENKHER HOT SPRINGS - (130 km)
The Tsenkher hot spring is one of the most famous hot springs in Mongolia. Many domestic and foreign tourists choose to spend their summer vacation, mending their body and health here. The hot spring is located in the Hangay Mountain region, 25km southwest of Tsenkher soum, Arkhangai province. The region is popular with its extinct volcanoes and hot springs.
According to scientists, these geothermal water sources lie near the surface under Hangay dome, under its Cenozoic volcanism areas. The geothermal water in Hangai region developed at an intersections of northwest and northeast trending faults as well as contact brecciated zones between Permian, Carboniferous and Devonian sedimentary rocks and Permian-Triassic granitic rocks. So this goes same for the Tsenkher hot spring. Geological formation of the Tsenkher hot spring is comprised of Permian aleurolite and brecciated quartzites.
The hot spring water is generally a type of bicarbonate-sodium and has weak alkalinity with low mineralization
accomodation- Khangai Resort
Day 6 TSENKHER HOT SPRINGS TO WHITE LAKE- (230km)
White Lake (Terkhiin Tsagaan) was formed by lava flows millennia ago. Rare species of flowers and pine trees grow in the black volcanic soil and ancient lava flows streak out across the meadow which is home to alpine wildlife. This astonishingly beautiful, crystal clear, freshwater lake is renowned for its fish and birdlife, including the Ruddy Shellduck and Great Cormorant.
The area surrounding the lake is a 7,280 hectare national park and is home to volcanic craters, pine-clad lava fields and the occasional herd of grazing yaks.The nearby Khorgo Uul (volcano) was responsible for creating White Lake thousands of years ago and is now extinct. The crater is accessible by foot or on horseback, providing excellent views of the lake and surrounding basalt-covered countryside. Local wildlife is also abundant and the area is a haven for birdwatchers.

Located in Arkhangai Province, the Chuluut River 415 kilometers long and covers 10,750 square km. This river pours from the tallest point in the Khangain Mountains, so it is one of the fastest flowing mountain rivers. Its valley is narrow with lots of rocks, and the lower its altitude, the wider it becomes. Its falls are than 100 km tall and 60 meters of thick thick basalt rock have been cut by the Teel Rivers flow, leading to peaceful outlets like Artsats brooks and ponds. Mountain water from the east and Terkh Tsagaan Lake comes together to make the Chuluut River flow and reach depths of up to 80 meters. The average depth is 2.5 meters, with a flow of 1 meter per second. Dean is almost as tall as 9 stories and incredibly steep. The flow is at first calm, and when it reaches the dean it looks like stone flow.

Day 8 TAMIR RIVER TO KHARKHORIN CITY - 220 km
Kharkhorin
The capital of the Mongol Empire
In the early thirteenth century, Genghis Khan established Mongol rule over a territory that stretched from the Pacific to the Caspian Sea, founding an empire that included the steppes of Mongolia, Korea, North China, and part of Central Asia. This empire is initially devoid of a capital because the Mongols are nomads.
Around 1220, Genghis Khan established his base camp, leaving women and central administration during his military campaigns, on the site of Karakorum (name meaning "black rock"), located at the foot of the Khangai Mountains on the left bank of the Orkhon atributary of the Selenge. Karakorum is a significant site, some 25 km from the ancient Uyghur capital Qara Balgassun (VIIIth century).
Genghis Khan died in 1227 and was succeeded by his son Ögödei, who around 1235 began work on transforming the Karakorum into a capital city. A wall was built, because it was the symbol of any city. Later, Marco Polo mentions a simple earthen embankment and Guillaume de Rubrouck a brick wall. Four doors open on the four cardinal points. Two huge granite statues depicting turtles, with Sinisant-style inscriptions, adorn the East Gate that leads to China.
Karakorum is open to all religions and peoples of the Empire. Its inhabitants are almost all foreigners, because the Mongols refuse to settle down. Two large districts dominate: that of the Chinese and that of the Saracens, mainly craftsmen and artists. The Mongolian capital shows a high quality of life. Archaeologists have spotted hot air heating systems, irrigation canals and water supply. Agriculture appears near the city to feed the inhabitants, but Karakorum depends on agricultural imports from China.
Visit to the Monastery of Erdenezuu
Once we have arrived on site we will visit the most beautiful and oldest Buddhist monastery Erdenezuu built between 1585 and 1586. The stones from the ruins of Karakorum were used in the construction. It is surrounded by a wall presenting 108 stupas,108 is a sacred number in Buddhism, and the number of pearls in a Buddhist rosary (mala). The monastery was damaged by war in the 1680s, but was rebuilt in the eighteenth century and by 1872 it included 62 complete temples inside.
For centuries, Erdene Zuu was the most important religious shrine in Mongolia. In 1939 communist leader Horloogiyn Choybalsan destroyed the monastery, as part of a purge that resulted in the disappearance of hundreds of monasteries in Mongolia and the death of more than ten thousand monks. Three small temples and the outer wall with the stupas remained; the temples became museums in 1947. It is said that this part of the monastery was spared from destruction because of pressure from Joseph Stalin. One researcher claims that it was US President Franklin Roosevelt who asked Stalin to spare the monastery in 1944.
Erdene Zuu could have existed as a museum only; the only functioning monastery in Mongolia was Gandantegchinlin Monastery in the capital, Ulaanbaatar. However, after the fall of communism in Mongolia in 1990, the monastery was handed over to the lamas and Erdene Zuu became a place of worship again. The site was restored at the end of the century and has partially regained its religious aspect. Today Erdene Zuu remains an active Buddhist monastery as well as a museum that is open to tourists.
After the site visit installation in a yurt camp. Dinner at the yurt camps.
Day 9 KHARKHORIN CITY TO KHUSTAI NATIONAL PARK - 250 KM
The Khustai National Park is world-famous for its successful reintroduction of Przewalski's Horse, Equus Przewalski, the only remaining wild horse, since 1992. In addition to the Takhi, as Mongolians call them, roaming freely in their homeland once again, the park and its surrounding area have much to offer to the lovers of nature and the culture of our beautiful country, located in the heartland of Asia. HNP is unique in that it is the only National Park that is managed by NGOs and financed by its income and does not receive any state subsidies. Therefore, HNP has developed a range of ecotourism initiatives to finance its conservation programs within the park. Incomes, earned through entrance fee, accommodation, souvenir sale, and donations, directly contribute to the Przewalski's Horse reintroduction program, as well as other research and conservation projects being undertaken within the park and its buffer zone.
