A place where tranquility and nature intersect: Reset your mind at Aryabal Monastery.

Deep within Mongolia's Terelj National Park, about a 20-minute walk past Turtle Rock, you'll find the Aryabal Meditation Monastery. Cross a suspension bridge and climb 108 steps to reach this serene retreat.

Nestled among the mountains, the monastery quietly embodies the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism. Along the path leading to the monastery, Buddhist sayings written in both Mongolian and English line the way, offering a calming experience as you walk.

The interior of the monastery is simple yet sacred, and you can meditate while gazing at the distant mountain ranges. This is less of a "tourist spot" and more of a place to reflect and reconnect with yourself.

If you visit Terelj, make sure to take the time to stop by Aryabal Monastery. It’s a place where your heart feels lighter.
