The mountain peak at Altai Tavan Bogd is located at an altitude of 4374 meters, and it is the highest point above sea level in Mongolia and is called Khuiten.
Most scientists believe that the mountain name comes from the word “mountain with gold.”
The glaciers are located at an altitude of 3,500-4,000 meters above sea level. The largest glaciers are the Potanin Glacier, Alexander Glacier, Greny Glacier. They stretch 16 kilometers in length and are the source of the Tsagaan River.

Since then, more than 700 climbers have conquered these peaks and they have become the favorite peaks for domestic and foreign mountaineers.
In 1996, the National Reserve “Altai Tavan Bogd National Park” was founded and officially open. In the territory of the Altai Mountains Tavan-Bogd there are many lakes and rives Khoton Lake, Khurgan Lake, Dayan Lake, the river valley of the Khovd River, Khar Salaa, Tsagaan-Salaa, Songinot, and Yolt.
