Terelj is the most popular destination. Tucked into the Hentai Mountain Range, the park borders the Khan Hentii Strictly Protected Area. Terelj is famous for its beautiful natural scenery, intriguing rock formations, and some man-made attractions. There are a number of tourist accommodations, some of which stays open year-round, and the area offers excellent hiking, fishing rock climbing, and horseback riding opportunities, as well as a chance to raft the Tuul River towards Ulaanbaatar. Visitors can take leisurely strolls over green meadows carpeted with edelweiss and a dazzling variety of other wildflowers, view boulder mounds against a backdrop of pine-covered slopes, and wander along the wooded banks of mountain streams. Turtle Rock (a naturally occurring formation), and man-made dinosaur statues are among the park’s main attractions
