The Chinggis Khan Statue and Terelj in One Day
The Genghis Khan Statue and Terelj Park in one day trip from Ulaanbaatar: Turtle Rock, Aryabal temple, a ger lunch, the hours at each stop and what is paid on the day. November 2026.
Almost every day tour to the Chinggis Khan Statue goes on to Terelj Park: Turtle Rock, the walk up to Aryabal temple and lunch, then back in Ulaanbaatar by mid-afternoon. The statue takes about an hour, Terelj Park the rest of the day. For a first visit the one to book is Amazing Mongolia LLC’s Genghis Khan Statue, Terelj Park, Camel Ride, Eagle, Hiking and Rock Tour, from US$79 each for two adults (checked November 2026): 8 hours with a guide, the fees, a camel ride, an eagle photo and lunch in a ger in the price.
The calendar is Amazing Mongolia LLC’s day. One adult booking alone paid US$89 on 15 January and 26 March 2027.
From the statue to Terelj Park
The statue complex and Terelj Park are close on the map but not on the road. From the complex to Turtle Rock is about 37 km by road, because the road runs back west before it turns north into the park; from Sukhbaatar Square to Turtle Rock is about 56 km. Aryabal temple is a short drive and a walk uphill from the rock.

Petrichor Mongolia's day gives Terelj Park the longest stop, two and a half hours, with the statue last.
Turtle Rock and Aryabal temple
Turtle Rock is a granite formation in Terelj Park shaped like a turtle, and the tours stop there for photos; Amazing Mongolia LLC’s day offers guided rock climbing in the park as an option. Aryabal meditation temple sits on a hillside above the valley and is reached on foot: every tour in the table except Petrichor Mongolia's makes the walk. On MJ Travel LLC’s days its entrance is extra, 5,000 tugrik on that company’s list of exclusions.
For more on the rock itself, how far it is and which tours stop there, tereljpark.com’s Turtle Rock page covers it in depth.
