Today we will walk outside within the fence of the monastery. There are temples and small chambers to visit in the monastic center. (Full board meals) – tent stay

In the morning, we will have breakfast at the camp and drive to our next destination – Tuvkhun Monastery. In order to reach the Tuvkhun Monastery, you’ll have to hike for 5 km to the top of the mountain. You will reach  a small open meadow in front of the high rocky cliff. The Monastery is located on that cliff so you will also climb up to the monastery through rock steps. There are three small temples on the stage you climbed up. While you’re searching about the Monastery you’ll find several meditation caves. There are several ovoos (spiritual sets made by a pile of stones) on the top of the cliff and monuments dedicated to natural deities. You’re going to do a lot of hiking and climbing here. But it will be worth trying since you’re going to see a beautiful display of nature on top of the Mountain. You need to carry your water with you and sun cream and sunhat is recommended to be put on depending on the weather. (Full board meals). We will stay in the tents.

This morning we will have breakfast by the tents and drive to the waterfall to hike. Lunch will be served by the family on our way. Today we will feel wilderness referring to nature, untouched areas by the mountains, free from the constraints of structured schedules, technology, and urban environments. It provides an opportunity to connect with nature, recharge, and engage in activities that foster well-being and mindfulness. 

Spending time outdoors helps us appreciate the beauty and diversity of the natural world. It fosters a sense of belonging and respect for the environment.

Activities like hiking, climbing, or walking improve cardiovascular health, strength, and stamina as you know.

Immersion in nature reduces stress, anxiety, and depression while boosting mood and creativity. It’s often referred to as “nature therapy.”

Freedom from Distractions: Being away from screens, deadlines, and daily responsibilities allows you to focus on the present moment. (Full board meals). We will stay in the tents.
