Our flagship outdoor performance is unlike anything you'll see elsewhere in Mongolia. Set against the mountains of the Tuul River valley, "Mongolia the Beautiful: Oath of Heaven" brings to life the legendary 13th-century bond between Temujin - the young warrior who would become Genghis Khan - and his sworn brother Jamukha. This is not a stage play. It is a living spectacle performed on horseback, in full traditional costume, with all five sacred Mongolian livestock present.
What to expect:
→ Dramatic horseback riding at full gallop → Mounted archery demonstrations
→ Traditional Mongolian music and throat singing (khoomei)
→ Vivid recreation of nomadic steppe life → A cast of Mongolian performers in authentic 13th-century costume
Performed not on a stage, but under the open sky - with the mountains of Terelj as your backdrop.

Inside the Khalkha ger at Mongol Culture Park, your host family will welcome you as a guest. You'll discover the deep cultural meaning of every element - from the direction the door faces, to the placement of the hearth, to the honored seat reserved for elders and guests.
What you'll experience:
