Mongolia
Altai Tavan Bogd National Park
September 2028
Altai Trek & Mountaineering Climb
Expedition Overview
Immersed in ancient culture and history, the Mongolia Trekking and Mountaineering Expedition explores the highest peaks and most beautiful valleys of Altai Tavan Bogd National Park.
Prior to heading west into the national park, we will explore Mongolia’s capital, Ulaanbaatar. As we visit museums, parks, and the largest monastery in the country, our local English-speaking guides have much to share about their culture, experiences, observations, and connection to Mongolian history.
We will then travel west by plane and UAZ vans to explore Tavan Bogd National park. Options are availble for technical mountaineering or non-technical high altitude trekking for those wanting a less rigorous adventure. Highlights include Mt. Khuiten, the highest mountain in Mongolia, as well as Niramdel and Malchin Peaks, which share a ridge with Siberian Russia. The route to high camp climbs the 15 km long Potanin Glacier, which carves out a gorgeous valley providing seemingly unending visibility through this vast wilderness.
As we exit the park, we will visit a local Golden Eagle hunter and nomadic family in a Ger camp, the traditional home still used today by the nomadic peoples of the Mongolian steppe.
