 Bogd Khan Uul National Park is the oldest national park in the world, dating back to 1783. The mountain lies to the immediate south of Ulaanbaatar, the highest mountain of the park being Tsetseegun Uul, at 2256m. In the south of the park lies Manzshir Khiid, a monastery which, like many others, was destroyed in the Stalinist purges of 1937. It has since been rebuilt as a museum, and its ruins lie to the side.
The surrounding scenery is quite beautiful, especially in July and August when the hills are alive with mountain flowers. There are ger camps in the grounds for those who want to stay the night, although it is possible to visit for a day trip. Hikers might also like to try the difficult hike over the mountains back to Ulaanbaatar.
