Günjiin Süm
Surrounded by magnificent forests and not far from a lovely river, the Baruun Bayan Gol, the Buddhist temple of Günjiin Süm was built in 1740 by Efu Dondovdorj to commemorate the death of his Manchurian wife, Amarlangui. Once part of a huge monastery containing about 70 sq metres of blue walls, five other temples and a tower, Günjiin Süm is one of very few Manchurian-influenced temples in Mongolia to survive over the centuries.

To the northeast, Gorkhi-Terelj National Park joins the Khan Khentii Strictly Protected Area, comprising over 1.2 million hectares of the Töv, Selenge and Khentii aimags. The Khan Khentii park is almost completely uninhabited by humans, but it is home to endangered species of moose, brown bears and weasels to name but a few, and to over 250 species of birds.

Terelj Village
Terelj Village is about 27km from the park entrance, at the end of a paved road. It's in a nice location near the river but there's not much here apart from a few shops, a café and a ger camp.
