Detailed description

Flight to Uliastai Town

We have an early flight to Zavkhan province’s Uliastai. The Zavkhan province (aimag) is located in a transitional zone between Central Mongolia’s fertile Khangai mountain range and the harsh Great Lakes Depression to the west. Zavkhan, sandwiched between two distinct regions, has its own climate and landscape, ranging from snow-capped peaks to steppes and lakes surrounded by sand dunes. In the morning, after a two-hour flight, we will land at “Donoi valley airport.” Our jeeps will pick us up near Uliastai and transport us along the Bogd River through the Donoi Khundii open valley to reach our start place at Mod Tolgoi.

Otgon Hot Spring

We’ll start our horse-riding trip for two days in the direction of Otgontenger Mountain to meet the Otgon Hot Spa.

For 2 days we will ride into the direction of the Otgontenger Mountain. Otgontenger Uul is the highest peak of the Khangai Nuruu range and Mongolia’s 5th highest mountain. Its peak is at 4020 meters above the sea level. Otgontenger is the only mountain of the Khangai range that is capped with a glacier. The mountain is one of the worshipped mountains of Mongolia.  Worshipping began during Khunnu times by the first governing state of Mongolia, and this tradition continues to the present day. Historically, this mountain was initially protected in 1818. The peak and its environs have been protected since 1992 to conserve the high mountain ecosystem. The south face of Otgon Tenger Uul is the biggest granite wall in Mongolia.
