Wildlife in Gorkhi-Terelj National Park
Tov
Close to Ulaanbaatar, Gorkhi-Terelj combines granite formations, wooded valleys, grassland and river corridors. Popular visitor areas can be busy, but quieter side valleys still provide an approachable introduction to central Mongolia's mountain-steppe wildlife. Forest edges attract passerines, open slopes suit raptors and small mammals, and rocky ground offers shelter to reptiles. Early starts help avoid traffic and increase the chance of undisturbed observations around meadow margins and streams.
