Our Purpose
Genghis Khan Retreat is located within Mongolia’s Orkhon Valley, a national park in the Övörkhangai Region of Central Mongolia, 25km west of historic capital of Mongol Empire Kharkhorin. It was the summer place for Genghis Khan and his army.
Unspoilt panoramic views of beautiful rolling hills with a river gracefully snaking into the distance below and granite formations from previous volcanic activity surround this spectacular place. Genghis Khan Retreat offer luxurious comfort in the wilderness in traditional Mongolian style 'gers' made from local materials: wood from forests, yak felt for insulation from local livestock, horse hair for rope, camel leather to bind; specially crafted beds and furniture, wood-burning stoves and high-quality cashmere blankets.
Guests can connect with nature while exploring the steep on horse riding expeditions, kayaking, rock climbing and mountain biking in rugged and breath-taking landscapes with local Nomad guides. Foodstuffs are sourced locally when possible and we rear our own animals for dairy and meat.
Genghis Khan Retreat is a family business with the aim to create a sustainable project to preserve local nomadic culture and heritage, and operate with as little carbon footprint as possible.
