Introduction: "Chinggis" Tourist Camp has a great location in the beautiful natural Nomad's Tuul
river
Valley of streams, pine trees, just 50km to the South-eastern side of
"Terelj" National Park and 55km from UB . From Ulaan Baatar (UB) to
"Chinggis" tourist camp is 51 km paved road and 4 km unpaved road. This
lovely tourist camp owned by Samar Magic Tours Co., Ltd, lies on the
bank of "Tuul" river between 107°31'29" Longitude and 47°49'32'' Latitude.
The average altitude is 1446m above sea level. There are national gers
in beautiful natural locations, so it's easy to meet with nomads and
see their daily lives, interact with them to learn more about the lifestyle
of Mongolian nomads, to show you theirs animal training, feeding, milking,
food preparation, etc, explore by horse riding, go bird watching, take
water adventures, go trekking or walking, go rock climbing, or go swimming
in the "Tuul" river. Enjoy the view of this area, rich in wildflowers
and berries during summer season, or enjoy Birdwatching along the Tuul
River. Number of species of birds in Mongolia: Mongolia's 246 species of birds include 108 species of
passage
migrants, seventy-four species of residents, 231 species of summer visitors
and thirteen species of winter visitors that breed in Siberia. The bird
fauna is particularly rich in waterfowl and shorebirds which, including
gulls and terns, number 120 species, and birds of prey (thirty-eight
species). They are thirty-four species of warblers, fifty-four species
of butings, finches and sparrows, and six species of accentors. All
species that occur in Mongolia, even if they are migratory and spend
only short periods in the country, are covered by Mongolian Laws on
Hunting and Environmental Protection. Since many of the bird species
of Mongolian and some of the mammals are migratory, collaboration with
the neighboring states of the Russian Federation and China is essential
to give adequate protection to Mongolia's wildlife. On the steppes,
you will certainly see many White-naped crane (Grus vipio-see the picture
on the left side), Grey Demoiselle Cranes-the most common bird in Mongolia.
Other steppe species include the upland Buzzard, Steppe Eagle, Black
Kite and some assorted owls and hawks. In the mountain, you may be lucky
to spot species of ptarmigan, finch, woodpecker and owl.
