Arkhangai
Province in Central Mongolia is a beautiful
part of the country and has some exciting geographical
features and a lot of nomadic families living
the traditional lifestyle. It is an area suitable
for easy to moderate hiking, there are few steep
slopes to climb and for the most part we can
walk on rough jeep tracks.
Hot
mineral springs, used by the local people
as health spas, are quite common in Mongolia,
and the first part of our trek takes us to
a small resort in the wooded hills of the
Khangai mountains. Further north, the White
Lake and its surrounding area were influenced
by volcanic activity thousands of years ago
creating some dramatic sights.
The
distance planned for each day's hiking varies
from approximately 15 - 25 km per day. A support
vehicle will always be at hand
