In
the Khovsgol region of northern Mongolia, hiking
in the alpine peaks of the mountains beside the
beautiful Lake Khovsgol is a challenging
and wonderful experience. The wild flowers, dramatic
views and lovely campsites make this a fine location
for a trekking vacation. The equipment is carried
by pack horses from one valley to the next
whilst the walkers hike over high passes and along
the mountain ridges to meet at camp.
Hiking
Central Mongolia
The
Khangai mountains dominate the central
provinces and are an excellent area for hiking
in Mongolia. The lush green valleys and rolling
hills are home to many nomadic families, so this is a
good place to combine a walking tour in Mongolia
with a rich cultural experience. Volcanic areas
create exciting and varied scenery with river
gorges, craters and unusual rock formations.
Trekking
Western Mongolia
The
remote snow capped peaks of Uvs province are the
setting for a truly wild and adventurous trek
in Western Mongolia. We use camels to carry
our luggage and equipment as we hike over high
mountain passes, impressive plateau and along
spectacular river valleys of the Altai mountains.
Trek Grading
A reasonable
standard of fitness is required for all our treks,
although hiking in Central Mongolia along rough
jeep tracks allows us to give vehicle support
for those trips. Distances vary from 10
- 25 km per day depending on the terrain. Most
importantly, people need to be prepared for an
extremely changeable climate (you may experience
all four seasons in one day) and for wild camping
conditions.
