Aryabal Meditation Temple

A hillside temple in Terelj reached by a path of 108 steps, with views over the park.

The walk up crosses a suspension bridge and passes boards with Buddhist teachings. The small temple at the top looks over the granite valleys of Terelj; it is one of the easiest short hikes in the park.
