Mongolian Tavan Bogd Trek

Excellent trip - an adventure with amazing scenery. We were well looked after by our guide & support crew

It was a very good trip. Spectacular scenery. Vast and sparsely occupied.

A fantastic trip and a rare opportunity to explore such a remote part of the world. Based in the Altai Mountains on the border of China and Russia! We were very warmly welcomed by the Mongolian people and enjoyed the scenic walks and camping spots.

This was an absolutely fantastic trip! Our guide Samba was incredible: very knowledgeable about Mongolian history and culture, a capable mountain and hiking guide, in-control logistics organiser, and an all-round great person to spend two weeks with. We were blessed with perfect hiking weather, with only one quite cold night (in which I was grateful for my -15 sleeping bag), and otherwise blue skies and sunny warm temperatures. The hike itself I couldn’t recommend more highly. While the summit day was tough (approx 9 hours of difficult hiking, at altitude), the views over both Russia and Mongolia were spectacular. The other hiking days were more than manageable, with gentle sloping rambles across grassy plains and wildflowers, leaving us to enjoy relaxing evenings at camp. All our food on the hike was excellent, with a mix of local and western dishes. Us three vegetarians were very well catered for. We also had the opportunity to meet many nomadic people, visiting a few gurs along the way. Nothing felt ‘touristy’ or manufactured for our group. At the same time, Samba managed all the logistics and communication so capably that we were able to really relax and enjoy ourselves. I have no constructive or negative comments about the experience - we all had a fantastic time.

This experience was so much more than I had anticipated. Trekking was the expectation but so much more was provided for us.
