1. Vertical Stream: A trip starts with unfolding a paraglider against the wind to smoothly explore from the sky with the support of vertical wind streams. There are several spots around Ulaanbaatar for people interested in paragliding. Artsat Valley of Bogd Mountain, which you can reach from Yarmag Terrace, is at an elevation of 1,200 to 1,400 meters above sea level, and 200 meters above its surrounding area.

3. Cycling Trip: There are no bike lanes in the city, but Ulaanbaatar residents love riding bikes. At the beginning of the 1990s, the scholar Shanj sped through the streets of Ulaanbaatar, riding a device invented by a peasant named Efilm Artamanov in 1800. It was how Mongolians met a bicycle in 1990s. It's possible to going mountain biking around the city for distances of 7 to 70 kilometers, depending on your preference, all year round.

4. Horseback riding: You can’t go back home without riding a horse when you come to Mongolia. Mongolian horses may not look as majestic as other horse breeds, but they will give you a one-of-a-kind experience with confident, surefooted giants across the steppe. 

5. Camel riding: Would you believe me if I told you that you can ride camels near the city? You can add a vivid memory to your journey by riding two-humped Bactrian camels, which are rare and inhabit very few places around the world. It is especially pleasurable during the winter. When the camels have stored up enough fat for the winter, their humps seem much more secure and comfortable.

6. More experience, less Risk: If you want to travel around Ulaanbaatar, go on a hiking trip to Dashiin Khad of Bogd Khan Mountain, also known as Tsetsee Gun Peak. You will arrive in Zuun Mod of Tuv Province after driving 45 kilometers on asphalt roads from the center of the city to the southwest. Then you will drive on dirt roads for 7 kilometers to reach Manjusri Monastery. From here, you will leave your car and go hiking. The first half of the path is quite steep, but the incline reduces gradually to become flat ground, and then you will reach Tsetsee Gun Peak, rising 2,268 meters above sea level.

7.Golf: There are number of golf courses with up to 20 holes near the city. The cool, dry, but sunny climate in Ulaanbaatar during the summer makes it the perfect setting to play golf. At this time of the year, lots of tourists visit golf courses in Ulaanbaatar because some major cities in Asia are most likely to be blazing hot it rainy at this time of the year. 

8.Feel: n Mongolia, there are many rivers to provide the experience of adventure, competition, and the challenge of speed and strength to the seasoned traveler. For people who want a quick daytrip close to the city, the Tuul River is recommended. Even though this 704 kilometer-long river - originating from Khagiin Khar Nuur and ending at the Orkhon River – has a calm stream, it has rapids and fallen trees along its banks to provide excitement for kayakers.

9. Unfrozen Streams:In the winter there are several spots with unfrozen streams along the Tuul River, which flows through the south of the city. You can go to those sports to take a brist plunge in water that is colder that winter itself. Stand on ice with bare feel, feel your toes warming and tingling from cold at the same time.

10. Guardians of the sky. A total of 472 species of birds belonging to 61 families and 204 genuses inhabit Mongolia. Eighty-one species are non-migratory and 391 of them are migratory birds. Nonmigratory birds come out of the torpor from March in Spring. Would you believe that you can watch most of them at cozy places around the city?
