What to see and do in the Altai Tavan Bogd National Park?

Most travelers travel to Altai Tavan Bogd Mountain to trek to the Botanin Glacier, see Khuiten, the highest peak of the mountain and Mongolia. The Khuiten peak is accessible for experienced mountaineers when joining a guided mountaineering tour. Are you a regular adventure traveler who wishes to challenge yourself? You may climb the Malchin peak. The trekking to and back Botanin Glacier is 36-37 km. Hiring a horse or a camel is available instead of trekking. Your 36-37 km trekking adventure will be scenic and awe-inspiring seeing the majestic snowcapped mountains of Mongolia, Russian, and Chinese Altai Mountains.
Another should not miss attraction is the Shiveet Khairkhan rock drawing in the Altai Tavan Bogd Mountain. The rock drawings are varied and cover a huge area. The earliest rock drawings belong to the beginning of the Bronze Age while the latest belongs to the Turkic Era of V to VIII AD. The Shiveet Khairkan rock drawing has listed in the World Cultural Heritage site by UNESCO.
Some of our lucky clients spot wild sheep, ibex, and snow leopard on the trekking tour. Alternatively, the wild creatures will be observed on the special interest tours.
