If you want to visit 13th century Mongolia and eat, live, and act like the ancient Mongolians, this park is the one location you shouldn’t overlook.
“Mongolian 13th Century Theme Park” is an old micro kingdom from the 13th century located 98 km from Ulaanbaatar city. The lively atmosphere and unforgettable Mongolian experiences will leave you with lasting memories.
The “13th century” complex is designed to provide the feeling of a real-life of 13th century using tourist attractions such as ger camps, farms, statues, and traditional entertainment areas.
Within this tiny realm, televisions, electricity, and phones are not permitted to provide the visitors with an authentic visit to the 13th century.
By visiting the camp, tourists will be able to view Mongolian artwork and calligraphy, learn how to write in traditional Mongolian scripts, and dine as kings and queens did back in the day.
They can also practice archery or horse training/riding skills. If they would prefer a more relaxed experience though, they can just sit back and enjoy the stunning scenery and blue skies.
If you love gazing at the stars, then you’ll definitely want to come here for a visit. The night sky is something special to behold, and because there are no city lights around, the view is even more spectacular. I highly recommend it!
Currently, there are six different camps and tribes in the complex, and you usually need to drive between the camps. But in some cases, trekking over rocky and uneven terrain is required. As a result, double-check that your footwear is appropriate for the activity.
