"Tavan Bogd" refers to the five sacred peaks, which include Khüiten Peak (4,374m), Nairamdal Peak (4,192m), Bürged Peak (4,068m), Malchin Peak (4,051m), and Ulgii Peak (4,050m), all perpetually covered with snow. Among these, Khüiten Peak, the highest in Mongolia, and the expansive Potanin Glacier stretching 24 square kilometers at its base, offer prime trekking even in summer. This iconic location is a revered destination for mountaineers from around the world.

Highlights
This course is recommended for avid climbers who are in good physical shape and confident in their endurance. If you're short on time but aiming to summit Mongolia's highest peak, this is the perfect opportunity for you. Although summer flight schedules are not yet confirmed, we suggest a flexible itinerary. Once flights are set, the trip can potentially be completed within a shorter period. As this is an express tour, rest assured that it won’t involve excessively strenuous activity.

This express climbing tour is designed for those seeking a swift and efficient ascent. Due to the high altitude , weather conditions can be highly unpredictable. While we aim to complete the climb, it is important to note that reaching the peak may not always be possible if adverse weather affects the schedule. This tour is best suited for climbers who prioritize speed and are prepared for variable conditions.

Customer Reviews

Ethan Mitchell

Visiting Mongolia was an absolute dream come true! The ancient ruins are truly mesmerizing, and the views are breathtaking.

Yuichiro Okamura

Thank you very much for your support towards climbing Otgontenger this time.

Being able to communicate in Japanese for everything from email exchanges during the preparation stage to on-site follow-up was really helpful for me, as I don't have any language skills.

During the climb, the two young guides supported me as I was about to give up due to the blizzard and snow walls, and successfully guided me to the summit. I was surprised to hear that the company has only been established for a few years. I pray that it will continue to prosper.

Please take me somewhere else.

Hyoudou Takafumi

I am very grateful to the four of you for giving me your support.

The starry sky was beautiful, and the mountains, rivers, and flowers were beautiful.

Hyodo Naoko

thank you.

I felt like I was able to climb a mountain for the first time in a while.

Also, I am very satisfied with the "hospitality" of the staff, including Mr. Uruka.

However, as we get older, we often forget things, and we apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your continued support.

Thank you very much.
