Vast Steppes, Ancient Mountains, Unique Rock Formations
Mongolian
Resorts is located on over 170 hectares of pristine land within two
distinct geographical regions and lies only 20 kilometers from the
Airport. The first resort titled Plateau Mongolie highlights the vast
Steppe of the Mongolian nation. Nestled on a plateau overlooking miles
of open land and skies, the resort is surrounded by a mountain range
situated far in the distance illuminating the vast scale of the
Mongolian landscape.
Rolling Hills, Forests of Pine and Birch
The second resort, a further 8 kilometers
into the Haert Khaan mountain range, features rolling hills, unique
rock formations and forests of pine and birch. Haert Khaan, which means
‘Beloved King’ in the Mongolian language, is an enclosed valley of
rolling hills surrounded by and protected by a circle of ancient
mountains. Believed to be the former meeting place of ancient kings,
Haert Khaan is a sacred hideaway amongst the forested hills of this
ancient land. The terrain offers wonderful landscape for trekking,
mountain biking and ATV adventures in a scenic and very private
setting.
