The journey to Altai Tavan Bogd offers you breathtaking landscape and unique experiential travel to Mongolia.This journey is more than just an expedition; it’s a thoughtfully curated, responsible tour that connects travellers with Mongolia’s breathtaking landscapes and authentic culture.
Located in Bayan-Ulgii, the westernmost province of Mongolia, this magnificent mountain range is home to unique alpine wildlife, including Argali sheep, ibex, red deer, moose, snow leopards, and golden eagles. Bayan-Ulgii is mostly inhabited by Kazakh, Tuva and Uriankhai communities and is home to Mongolia’s highest peak – Khuiten Peak – (4,374 m a.s.l).
Here, the snow-capped peaks contrast beautifully with deep, lush valleys blanketed in wildflowers. Glaciers glisten under the summer sun, while alpine lakes reflect the pristine beauty of the surroundings. Alongside this natural splendor, travelers are welcomed by hospitable eagle hunters, who have preserved their ancient traditions for generations.
Embark on a summer trekking adventure where towering peaks, wildflower-filled valleys, and shimmering alpine lakes create a scene of unparalleled beauty. Your journey begins with taking domestic flight from Ulaanbaatar to Ulgii, the provincial capital, before setting out into the wilderness. Trek through rugged terrain, camp beneath a sky filled with countless stars, and experience the warmth of nomadic hospitality. A cultural visit with an eagle hunter and his family adds a fascinating layer to the experience, blending adventure with rich traditions. Highlights include trekking in the Altai Mountains, visiting the Potanin Glacier, the base camp, exploring ancient petroglyphs—recognized as a UNESCO’s World Heritage Site—and climbing Malchin Peak, a non-technical ascent that rewards climbers with panoramic views of the Altai Mountains.
