Hudriin Davaa

The campsite is located near an old iron mine, close to the Khudriin (Hudriin; Hiidiin) Davaa Gorge, where the tranquil waters of the Tuul (Tula; Tola gol) River meander through the rugged terrain. To the southeast stands the majestic Hiidiin Sardag peak, which rises to 2665 meters above sea level and forms part of the Khentii Ridge. This ridge is one of the main sources of the Tula River, which flows downstream through the capital of Ulaan Baataar.

Terelj is a scenic valley located about 70 kilometers northeast of the Mongolian capital city of Ulaanbaatar. It is a popular tourist destination in Mongolia, known for its stunning natural beauty, including rugged rock formations, deep river valleys, and lush forests.

One of the most famous landmarks in Terelj is the Turtle Rock, a massive rock formation that resembles a turtle emerging from the ground. Visitors can also enjoy hiking, horseback riding, and exploring the local nomadic culture by staying in traditional Mongolian gers (yurts).
