🇲🇳 Welcome to Turtle Rock in Terelj National Park, Mongolia! One of the most celebrated landmarks here is a masterpiece by Mother Nature herself: the iconic Turtle Rock 🐢. This giant rock formation, crafted over millennia by wind and water erosion, astonishingly resembles a giant turtle basking in the sun, hence its name. Standing at about 24 meters tall (nearly 80 feet!), it’s a majestic sight against the sweeping Mongolian landscapes. Nestled amid hills and valleys of lush grasslands, river valleys, and unique rock formations, Turtle Rock is an emblem of the vast, untouched beauty of the Mongolian steppe. Visitors often scramble up ladders to reach the ‘head’ of the turtle for an unparalleled view of the park. Just remember to tread carefully - the ecosystem here is delicate and we want to keep this gem preserved for future generations to admire! 🌿 Come experience the magic of Terelj National Park - where the echoes of the ancient Mongol Empire resonate in the whispers of the wind, the timeless rock formations, and the endless expanse of wild, unspoiled nature. 🌄💫 #TereljNationalPark #TurtleRock #Mongolia #mongoliatravel #mongolian
