Mongolia is a great country for trekking because of its challenging and remote terrain. If it's your first time trekking in Mongolia, start your adventure at Tsambagarav, a mountain that stands between the provinces of Bayan-Olgii and Khovd Province in Western Mongolia. It is part of the Altai mountains range and has two peaks, with Tsast Ulul (literally meaning “snow covered peak) being higher, at 4,193 metres above sea level. The other peak—called Tsambagarav—is a snow-capped mountain that's forever covered in snow. Tsambagarav is also considered a sacred mountain in the region.
Trekking in Tsambagarav is best done with a guide and in a group. Be sure to work with a reliable adventure travel company that specialises in providing tours in Mongolia. You want to travel with a tour operator that can take care of everything for you, from proving reliable transport to securing all permits, as well as offering great accommodation.
The Tsambagarav Trek package is a good starter for people who are new to the Mongolian outdoors. It's a suitable alternative to a Tavanbogd trek in Western Mongolia. It lets you explore Khatu Valley's deep cut gorges and craggy hills. You can also explore the lush valleys of Tsambagarav National Park, which covers 110,960 hectares surrounding Tsambagarav Mountain. The park is on the border between the provinces of Hovd and Bayan-Olgi, and is known for its rich wildlife, beautiful scenery, and nomadic native Uriankhai and Kazakh herders. A permit must be secured from the Mongolian Park Administration before you can enter the park, but if you're with a travel company, they will take care of this.
After exploring the park, you can head to Hovd River. Trekking in Mongolia may involve riding local horses,camping and staying in a Kazakh ger, too. You can also have the chance to visit an Eagle Hunter.
