Join us on a journey of discovery to a region few people have visited. We’re heading to Altai Tavan Bogd National Park, which features beautiful lakes, snow-capped peaks, glaciers, and lush valleys. We’ll pack our camping gear onto horses and camels and hike through this beautiful landscape for nine days.
Highlights
- Experience true wilderness in Altai Tavan Bogd National Park
- Camping with horses and camels carrying our gear
- Climb Malchin Peak (4050 m)
- The capital, Ulaanbaatar
- The Genghis Khan statue—the world’s largest equestrian statue.
Mongolia, with a population of just under four million, is one of the world’s most vast and sparsely populated countries. About 30 percent of the population still lives as nomads, and although the country is often associated with endless steppes and open landscapes, it has much more to offer. The landscape is diverse, featuring dramatic mountains, lush forests, crystal-clear lakes, and vast deserts.
The adventure begins in the capital, Ulaanbaatar, where we’ll spend the first day on a city tour to get to know the city. The next day, we’ll head to Gorkhi-Terelj National Park, where we’ll visit, among other things, the impressive Genghis Khan statue - the world’s largest equestrian statue, standing a full 40 meters tall.
We then fly west to Altai Tavan Bogd National Park to begin our nine-day hike into Mongolia’s untouched wilderness. Here, horses and camels will carry our luggage, while an experienced team sets up camp and prepares meals.
Along the way, we’ll meet nomads and local families who still practice falconry - a tradition dating back 6000 years. We’ll also have the opportunity to spend the night in traditional Mongolian gers (yurts). The trek culminates with the ascent of one of the national park’s sacred mountains: Malchin Peak (4050 m), located on the border with Russia. The trip will give you the feeling of being on an adventure far off the beaten path.
This trip is perfect for anyone seeking an exotic and unforgettable wilderness experience, with a unique combination of challenges, culture, and stunning natural beauty!
