Check out the itinerary below:
Day 1: arrive - you’ll be picked up at the airport unless otherwise arranged. We’ll meet for an introductory dinner.
Day 2: fly to Ulgii in Mongolia’s northwest and the gateway to the Tavan Bogd National Park. Here, at 2000 metres we acclimatise for two nights and enjoy the Kazakh Mongolian culture.
We join in some traditional felting activities and create a scarf, or cushion cover to take home after the adventure.
Day 3: We spend another night in Ulgii and explore the small, frontier town, close to the Russian and Kazhak borders.
Day 4 - 10 our aim is to traverse the Tavan Bogd National Park from its southwest lakes to its five sacred peaks (Tavan Bogd) in the north and arrive at basecamp overlooking the Potanin Glacier.
We’ll be supported by a team of about 12 people. Mongolian-Kazakh camel & horse wranglers, two cooks & two English speaking local guides, and 3 - 4 drivers.
The cook and camel wranglers will walk ahead of us to start setting up camp at some of the most breathtaking camping spots you’ve ever seen in your entire life!
Day 11: If you choose to and if weather permits, we will attempt to climb to the top of Malchin Peak (4,045 mt). This will take all day and will be the most arduous effort you’ll make during the whole adventure.
As soon as you get to the top and see the 360 degree view, you’ll forget all about the difficulty and exertion of walking up the steep scree.
Day 12: We make our way to the northeast exit off the national park where our drivers will be waiting to drive us back to Ulgii.
Day 13: Fly back to Ulaanbaatar. We can arrange a Thai massage before our last celebration dinner.
Day 14: our drivers will take you to the airport to catch your flight home or to your next destination.
