There are many landmarks and monuments worth visiting when you travel to Mongolia. However, one of the most famous tourist attractions that Mongolia offers is the Genghis Khan Equestrian Statue, part of the Genghis Khan Statue Complex. Many sights this ginormous statue as a must-see destination for all tourists. It is truly a goliath of a monument with a height of 40 meters (130 ft), earning a Guinness world record as the tallest equestrian statue, as befitting the country of horses. In this article, I will be sharing my firsthand experience of visiting the statue in person.

About The Statue

The Genghis Khan statue is located on the bank of the Tuul River Tsonjin Boldog, 54 km (33.55 mi) east of the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar, where, according to legend, Temujin (his childhood name) found a golden whip on this hill during his travels to Hereid tribe. You can read more about Mongolian history here.

The statue is symbolically pointed east towards his birthplace. It is on top of the Genghis Khan Statue Complex, a visitor center, itself 10 meters (33 ft) tall, with 36 columns representing the 36 khans from Genghis to Ligdan Khan. It was designed by sculptor D. Erdenebileg and architect J. Enkhjargal and erected in 2008. The cost of the complex is reported to be US$4.1 million, built by The Genco Tour Bureau, a Mongolian company.

The 40 meters high steel statue of Mongolia’s Chinggis Khan houses a restaurant, a small art gallery, a meeting room, a large lobby, and an observation deck.

The attached museum has exhibitions relating to the Chinese archaeological cultures in Mongolia, which show everyday utensils, belt buckles, knives, sacred animals, etc., and a second exhibition on the Great Khan period in the 13 and 14th centuries. Adjacent to the museum is a tourist and recreation center, which covers 212 hectares (520 acres).

My experience

I absolutely loved my time visiting the statue during my last trip to Mongolia. First of all, I enjoyed that the location was located in close proximity to the capital, Ulaanbaatar, requiring only an hour-long bus ride from the city center.

Although the local weather can be cold, especially during the springtime, my discomfort was immediately offset by the beautiful local scenery. On the way, you can already catch a glimpse of the giant statue, and it looks even more impressive up-close. The whole surrounding area is covered by all sad by lush greenery.

Visitors walk to the head of the horse through its chest and neck, where they have a panoramic view. The main statue area will be surrounded by 200 yurts designed and arranged like the pattern of the horse brand marks that were used by the 13th-century Mongol tribes.

Visitors ascend to the exhibition hall using an elevator at the back of the horse and then walk to the horse’s head passing through its chest and the back of its neck from where they will have an excellent panoramic view over the complex area and the scenery beyond.

In the building, located at the foot of the statue, you will find many activities and establishments. In the art gallery, you can enjoy selected art works by Mongolian artists with Mongolian historical significance and cultural information. In the restaurant, you can enjoy European and Mongolian Cuisine.

Conclusion

The biggest statue of Chinggis Khaan in the world is a truly impressive spectacle. If you have the chance I would absolutely recommend the experience. When you may take an elevator upstairs and see the marvelous view from Chinggis Khaan’s horse’s back I guarantee it will all be worth it. Furthermore, there is an interesting museum downstairs, and all the souvenirs are cheap and detailed. I believe it was a great decision to erect this statue, as it is evident that this complex will provide a new and distinctive image for the Mongolian tourism industry.

Altai tavan bogd mountain range is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Not only because of its natural wonders, but also because of the people I met there. The eagle hunters were some of the most interesting people I have ever met.

The Eagle hunters are a fascinating people with a rich culture and history. They have lived in central Asia for centuries, and their tradition of hunting with eagles is one of the most unique in the world.

In the world, the Bayan-Olgii province has the most active Mongolian eagle hunters. For thousands of years, nomadic Kazakh people in this area have maintained their ancient culture. The “nomadic lifestyle” is a big factor for them to preserve their culture.

The Kazakh practice of hunting with birds of prey is an ancient one. Cave paintings depict falconry practices dating back to the Bronze Age, Genghis Khan was said to be a fan, and Marco Polo described eagle hunting with Khan’s grandson in the 1100s.

Most of Mongolia’s current Kazakh population, including the eagle hunter, fled from Kazakhstan to avoid a communist regime. The Kazakh eagle hunter has elevated the sport’s significance in Mongolia, bringing with them millennia of history.

Today, the Kazakh people of Mongolia live in Bayan Ulgii near the Altai tavan bogd mountain, where their community continues to practice eagle hunting as well as other cultural traditions. There are now more than 200 Mongolian eagle hunters in the Bayan-Olgii Province.

They migrate four times a year. Their way of life is both amazing and challenging. They begin caring for their animals early in the morning and continue till late at night. The quest for the sacred eagle feathers runs through their blood. Eagle hunting is in their genes. From his father, Kazakh eagle hunters learn how to train eagles, which is then handed down from one generation to the next.

I have been all over the world and seen some amazing places, but the Altai Tavan bogd mountain is by far my favorite. The scenery is breathtaking, and the locals are incredibly friendly. If you get a chance to visit this area of the world, make sure you do not miss it!

First, let’s dive into what is mountain Altai Tavan bogd. Altai Tavan bogd, also spelled Altai Tavang Bogd, is a mountain range that is part of the Altai Mountains in Mongolia.

The range extends about 500 kilometers from northwest to southeast, and its highest point is the Khüiten Peak at an elevation of 4734 meters. Tavan bogd National Park was established in 1996 to protect the area’s unique flora and fauna.

The landscape of Altai Tavan bogd is truly unlike any other place on earth. The mountains are covered in glaciers, and beautiful alpine lakes are dotting the landscape. Wildlife such as ibex, argali sheep, red foxes, and snow leopards call this place home.

The best time to visit Altai Tavan bogd is from June to September when the weather is warm and dry. However, even in the winter this place is magical with its snow-capped mountains and frozen lakes.

The Altain tavan bogd is divided into 3 main peaks. The first and most popular among tourists is the Khüiten Peak, which is also the highest point in Mongolia. To get to the peak, you need to hike for about two days. The second peak is Nairamdal, which means “friendship” in Mongolian.

It is named after the Soviet-Mongolian friendship peak climbing expedition in 1960. The third peak is Malchin Uul, which means “herders mountain” in Mongolian. It is so named because it is considered to be the sacred mountain of the five main religions practiced in Mongolia.

If you are looking for an adventure of a lifetime, look no further than Altai Tavan Bogd! I cannot wait to go back and explore more of this incredible place.

Because of which some indoor swimming pools provide a unique experience and wonder to the swimmers that is unmatched in its beauty. From spectacular swimming pools to jaw dropping hotel spas, these are some of the most stunning indoor pools from all over the globe.

Part surreal art installation, part deep sea diving training arena, the Nemo 33 is anything but the ordinary pool. This unique pool in Brussels had claimed the title of deepest indoor pool in the world at the staggering depth of 108 ft. Even though it has lost its standing to the Y-40 “Deep Joy” pool in Padua, with a recorded maximum depth of 113 feet, it still is an amazing feat of human ingenuity.

However, the most interesting feature is that it allows divers with wetsuits and the ordinary folk to get the chance to feel this amazing experience.

Some pools can give the viewer a sense of comfort and awe; however, some leave a more unnerving impression. This is the spa and pool in the 7132 Hotel. At first, it looks like the set of a science fiction movie, but do not be alarmed by its unique modern architecture. Designed by Peter Zumthor, the pool was constructed from 60,000 slabs of Vals quartzite and meant to resemble a cave or quarry-like complex.

Though it may look intimidating, the layout of the pool is meant to maximize satisfaction for its users. The mythical atmosphere, the highly mineralized water at 30 degrees Celsius and a wide range of exclusive ESPA treatments at the spa allows its customers to indulge both body and soul.

Bangkok is one of the greatest tourist destinations on the planet. This city attracts people from all over the world. There is something for everyone. Enjoy shopping, dining, clubbing, or sightseeing.

I actually had been dreaming, praying, and trying to manifest a trip to Thailand and Southeast Asia since I graduated from university. Funny how it all worked out!

If you are backpacking through Asia, Bangkok is a must-visit destination. I am hoping you took the Trans Siberian, made a few stops, and bought souvenirs & gifts for your friends and family, but anyways here are 10 reasons to visit Bangkok Thailand.

#1 – The Streets Are Not Crowded

If you have visited Bangkok before the military coup, then you likely experienced a crowded tourist scene in some of the most popular destinations in Bangkok. This is currently not a problem. The streets are less crowded.

Tourists have been waiting to see if the political climate remains stable. As mentioned, it has been two years since the takeover. Take advantage of this opportunity to visit Bangkok before the streets start filling up with tourists again.

#2 – Air Travel to Thailand is Cheaper

Since fewer tourists are interested in traveling to Bangkok right now, the airline tickets are cheaper. You can expect to pay much less than you would have a couple of years ago. Though, you should still compare airlines and find the best deals.

As traveler confidence increases, the prices will likely increase. You should consider booking a trip while the prices are still low. This applies to airline tickets and your lodging as well. Compare the prices of multiple resorts and hotels and you will surely get an amazing deal right now.

A trip to Bangkok is not complete without eating plenty of authentic Thai street food. You will find street vendors and food stalls almost everywhere you go. There is no shortage of variety. Enjoy fried insects and other exotic items. Or, you could stick to the food you know and love.

#6 – The Tuk Tuks

Another traditional Bangkok experience is going for a Tuk Tuk ride. You get an open ride to your destination. Though, you should be prepared to haggle on the price. Otherwise, you can expect to pay significantly more than you would for a taxi.

#7 – Visit an Interactive Museum

Art in Paradise in an interactive museum that has recently opened at the Esplanade Shopping Mall. The museum is divided into a variety of large rooms. Each room is painted with large, surreal murals. Many of these murals are designed to trick your eyes. This is why the museum is also referred to as the Trickeye 3D Museum.

#8 – Coconuts everywhere!

Coconut ice cream should be reason enough to visit Bangkok again. You can find this delicious treat just about anywhere in Bangkok. It is often served in a coconut husk. Though, if you happen to purchase this ice cream at the Chatuchak Weekend Market, you can enjoy the ice cream served with corn and peanuts.

#9 – Visit the Chatuchak Weekend Market

If you are going to be in Bangkok on a Saturday or Sunday, then you should visit the Chatuchak Weekend Market. This is the largest market in Asia, with 27 sections. There are over 15,000 booths. You could spend all day traveling the market and not even get to see every booth.

You can find anything from furniture to clothing. Buy plants, souvenirs, original artwork, food, and just about anything else.

Because of the coronavirus lockdown I have been spending a lot of time by myself in isolation however I’ve been noticing that the more you spend time with yourself in peace you’ll find that it’s quite calm and peaceful.However I’ve been missing travelling a lot and going to different places and exploring different cultures and understanding more about myself so I tried do something a bit differently and going on trips to different places in my own country.

If you have not been on the road by yourself and exposed the nature of your own country there are many things that you can explore and many things that you still can enjoy out in nature.

Recently I went hiking near mountain that’s closer to where I live with a few friends.I have learnt that preparation is more important than anything when you are travelling into the wilderness and off-roading.

Especially with food and and knowing how to prepare the food without the luxuries of modern day life and without modern day tools however it was quite interesting to find that you still can survive out it makes you with the most basic of things.

Before I used to travel with most of an arranged plan and most often stayed in hotel cities but this time around it was quite a unique experience travelling how to make sure with nothing but the basic Necessities.I found that it’s quite peaceful and relaxing for the soul Getting more in touch with yourself and getting in touch with the world after while you learn to listen to your heart and you learn to listen to your surroundings.

However a few things that you should bring with you when you’re travelling out in the wilderness in nature are:

• Flashlight
• Food cooler
• Diary
• Sunscreen
• Comfortable clothes

Bring a Flashlight

You don’t know how much of a lifesaver flashlight can be because when you are in the middle of nowhere with no lights and with no guidance as to where things are a flashlight can be the light to find a way and not get lost.

Now you could use the flashlight on your phone but I highly suggest that maybe you get a pocket flashlight or a flashlight that is designed for the outdoors such as 1tac tc1200.

When my friends actually ended up getting lost while she was struck and and our group had to spend almost an hour searching for her but luckily because we had a way to light up a path we found her before she disappeared into the void .

Flashlight between 20 to $30 range is the best choice for outdoor and typing off-roading adventures.

Food cooler

A portable refrigerator is also very important because when you are way from go to stores and shops then you’ll have to find a way to maintain your food at cool temperatures without making it go bad.

They don’t necessarily have to be one of the most expensive once you can find one for $30 with less it’s just that you have to keep it out of this sun and portable enough that you can pay with you in your car when you bus.

A Diary to Find Yourself

I highly recommend that you bring a diary with you when you are travelling for long periods of time I’m in silence because it provides you the opportunity to learn more about yourself learn more about what you want to go in life and how you want to live it.

Quiet and peace you find revelations about who you are and what yourlife purpose is.Is in today’s modern day in age we forget that sometimes we need silence and space for selves can stand the cans of questions that we might ask yourself send instead of more about ourselves in a deep level.Because everything was busy in busy and busy with the rush, modern-day living that we forget to take time for ourselves.

So take a few notes down and write down your thoughts and what is on your mind.You as you write down your thoughts and ideas you begin to understand or process the questions that you can dealing with a struggling with and there’s a greater sense of clarity when you write down your thoughts .

Sunscreen

A sunscreen is more important than anything if you are travelling out in hotter climates out in the sun for longer periods of time.Besides just preventing skin cancer it can also help you maintain youthful appearance because the sun actually does age your skin quite a bit.

Other locations such as moisturizers and mosquito repellent I’m point if you want to avoid bugs other critters.

You need Comfortable Clothes!

You don’t have anyone that you need to impress so why go out of your way to look all all dressed up when in fact it can be taken away from me joy and your trip experience.

Basic clothes such as shoot flip flops shorts and clothes that feel comfortable for you is very important.

So use this time to learn more about yourself discover about your inner thoughts and enjoy the outdoors.

When you are traveling there are a lot of things you learn about history and the culture of the people who live there. One of the most recent profound experience for me has been a totally different environment and culture within Turkey.

There, I found great ways to decorate my home and how to pick the right furniture for my future house. Coming from a soviet background usually our decoration and interior design culture is not the best. It’s very bland and boring to say the least, however, I have learned that the more you travel the more you open your eyes to the beauty of other things in the world.

I had a friend host me at his house in Turkey, Istanbul. The city is massive and with over 20 million people, and from the architecture and the design to how the people lived, it was profoundly different than what I was used to. Usually former soviet countries are very cold on the outside and keep to ourselves, but one thing that struck me in Turkey was how people were open and eager to talk to just random strangers.

Talking with shop keepers and going to stores felt like making new friends as you had to negotiate and talk about whether you could get discount on some of the products, but it was quite the learning experience.

There is a rich sense of history in the country of Turkey. The Ottoman empire culture and remnants were still visible and the people were proud of their background and heritage.

New Designs & Decoration

One thing that stood out to me was the use ottoman furniture. You can learn more from this website.

The colors are unique and bright with a lot of colorful sights. The furniture seemed minimalist and set in such a way to provied as much room and space in the room. People hung rugs, and all kinds of garments on their walls.

Obviously you have modern design and decoration in the mix like any other country, but some of the things really stand out in the center piece and how choose to express themselves.

Finding new Decoration Inspiration With Ottomans

The ottomans though really fascinated me. It’s versatile piece of furniture that can go with almost all kinds of things when it comes to decration. You can use it as a stool, chair, footrest, a makeshift table, and various other things that might fit the need of the user.

What was neat was how my friend Dzengis pulled out cups, and other tableware from his ottoman stool that he was sitting on. His house was clean and quite organized, I think the ottoman furniture definitely helps with him staying on top of everything.

When I get back, I probably will look for the same thing in my nearest shop or browse online for what I might find. For a broke backpacker like me it might actually be a pretty good piece to decorate my home with. It’s not that big nor does it have much space, so it might be the perfect fit for me to get things in top shape.

When you are traveling into the unknown and making a path for yourself, you need good shoes and footwear that will keep you comfortable. Trust me, you are going to be walking for many many hours and perhaps with only one pair of shoes.

Bringing with you many pairs of shoes take up a lot of space and are annoying to carry around. So I usually recommend people to buy a pair of boots that are sturdy and made for everything. Palladium Boots are the best from my experience. You can read great reviews here and make up your choice: https://palladiumbootsreviews.com/

Whey Palladiums you Might Ask?

They have amazing prices for amazing quality. I have worn them for many years and one of the most cheapest canvas pairs have lasted me more than 3 years. And it was not the shoes/boot that got worn out, but it was the lace, and maybe some loss of color, but I didn’t really treat my pair of boots that well. It has been through a lot, but I was surprised by how long they lasted.

Selecting for comfort and environment

Depending on where you will be going, you should stop to consider what kind of material you should buy. Because some materials make your feet sweat a lot whereas some material will not be able to keep the warmth.

So if you are going to colder climates, perhaps try leather boots and more padded ones. However, if you are going to moist and warmer countries, then the canvas Palladiums are the best choice.

Walking For Hours and Comfort

Trust me, when you are on the road you will spend most of your time walking and if you are not used that, your feet will hurt and if you have shoes that are not comfortable and appropriate for your foot arch, you might actually hurt your feet in the long run, so be careful.

Something I like to do is putting an extra pair of insoles in my shoes. You can buy particular insoles that have particular arch and help with balance and support.

How Expensive Should They Be?

If you have some extra cash to spare, don’t worry about not getting a good deal, because even though they are very well priced, the quality that comes for the price is amazing. You can’t really go wrong with any choice.

Depending on the style and the color of the shoes, the prices might vary, but usually you will get a really good quality pair for about $70.

If you like some custom work and other funky colors, you can browse around and choose one that fits you.

If you are traveling, there are a lot of things you should and should not pack. This travel blog actually has some really good pointers, but in today’s blog lets talk about some of the essentials.

Passport Holder

You don’t want to be caught in a situation where your passport is ripped or worn out. If you want your passport to last and remain fresh get a passport holder that will protect it from damage.

Water Bottle

In some cases you will go for a long time without water which is why you need water bottle to remain hydrated. Some buses, train rides, and flights don’t stop for many hours, so you better get your water bottle filled up before embarking on your journey.

Good Shoes

I like to bring shoes that are made for traveling. Shoes that have durable soles and sturdy around your feet.

Hiking shoes are too bulky, so it has to be something in between. A hybrid between casual but also functional.

Palladium Boots are a pretty cool brand to try out if you want quality for the price.

Sunglasses

UV rays from the sun can actually damage your eyes, so you need sunglasses that will protect your eyes. If you did not know, the longer you go without protecting your eyes from the sun, as you get older the easier your eyesight becomes worse.

You don’t need necessarily expensive pair of sunglasses, but a simple but elegant one that has the feature of protecting UV rays.

Sun Hat

If you don’t have a hat, you are increasing the likelihood of you getting headaches and sometimes a sickness that is caused by excessive sun exposure on your head.

Your brain and head swell causing discomfort and pain. So if you want to avoid that just get a hat.

What not to bring

Toothpaste – It is better to buy toothpaste while you are on the road. You will find travel sized toothpaste or mouthwash while on the road.

Sun lotion – You can get sun lotion from stores. It will just be an extra burden for you to carry unecessary lotion

Excessive amount of clothes – Trust me, you don’t need that many clothes when you are traveling. As long as you have a few pair of pants, shirt, and underwear socks you should be good.

Most books – You probably won’t read them anyway. Only bring books that you are actually going to read on the road! There are plenty of applications that allow you to read from your phone too, so save up some space and try those!
