    DESCRIPTION

    The Altai region is a mountainous area located on the territory of Mongolia, Eastern Siberia, Kazakhstan and China.

    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. The five highest peaks of Altai Tavan Bogd mountain are Khuiten peak 4374 meters, Friendship peak 4082 meters, Herdsman peak 4037 meters, Eagle peak 4068 meters, and Ulgiy peak 4050 meters. In 1956, mountaineers of Mongolia conquered the Altai Tavan Bogd peak for the first time. 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. Most tourists come to see the Altai Tavan-Bogd mountains and national park, so we pass through the Tsagan-Gol river or the Oigor river to the camp we reach on foot, then walk up to the Malchin peak of the Altai Tavan bogd, then come to the camp of the ranger. This trip takes 5 days in total. It taks one day to drive to the mountains and one day to return with 3 days of hiking and climbing.
