After breakfast, we trek towards the base camp of the snow-capped Tavan Bogd Massif and to the impressive Potanin glacier - seeing both the Potanin and Alexander Glaciers. The 20km long Potanin Glacier runs down from the highest mountains of Mongolia and is an excellent base for trekking and climbing the surrounding peaks. This is where we’ll pitch our tents and camp for the night.
