How to Get to the Chinggis Khan Statue
Getting to the Genghis Khan Statue from Ulaanbaatar: 54 km by road from Sukhbaatar Square, hotel pickups and their limits, private cars, transport-only days and airport transfers. November 2026.
The Chinggis Khan Statue is about 54 km by road east of Sukhbaatar Square in Ulaanbaatar, at Tsonjin Boldog. The easy way there is a day tour that collects you from your hotel, and Amazing Mongolia LLC’s Genghis Khan Statue, Terelj Park, Camel Ride, Eagle, Hiking and Rock Tour does that within 3 km of the city centre, from US$79 each for two adults (checked November 2026), with the entrance fees and lunch included.
The calendar is Amazing Mongolia LLC’s day. One adult booking alone paid US$89 on 15 January and 26 March 2027.
Ulaanbaatar to the Genghis Khan Statue by road
From Sukhbaatar Square the road runs east out of the city and across the grassland to the complex: about 54 km. The tours give it an hour to an hour and a half: CentralMongoliatour .com’s itinerary allows about an hour, MJ Travel LLC’s 80 minutes, Petrichor Mongolia’s an hour and a half. Getting out of the city is the slow part, which is why MJ Travel LLC collects its guests between 7:15 and 7:45 AM.
Outside the capital, the UK Foreign Office says only about 10% of Mongolia’s roads are tarmacked and signposting is minimal, and it calls driving in Ulaanbaatar hazardous because the roads are heavily congested (November 2026). That is the case for letting someone else drive.

Each listing’s pickup terms and itinerary on GetYourGuide, checked November 2026.
If you are staying out of the centre, check the pickup before you pick the tour: Amazing Mongolia LLC does not collect beyond 3 km, so from further out, book a tour that comes to you.
A car with a driver
Some listings are a car and a driver rather than a tour. GobiGoTour sells “day tour car rentals with a driver” from US$35 a person (checked November 2026), meeting at the Ulaanbaatar Department Store; the entrance fees and meals are yours to pay. MJ Travel LLC’s days sit in between: a driver-guide who speaks English or Russian, the car and the fuel, with the tickets and lunch paid by you. On the ticket page those extras are added up.
From the airport
None of the day tours here collect you from Chinggis Khaan International Airport as part of the price, and the airport is about 48 km by road from Sukhbaatar Square, on the other side of the city from the statue. Arrive the day before and sleep in the centre, inside Amazing Mongolia LLC’s 3 km pickup area: hotels in Ulaanbaatar has room searches for the area around the square.
The simple answer
For most visitors the day tour with pickup is the way to go: no driving on unsigned roads, no tickets to buy at the gate, and Terelj Park on the same day.
