Highlights
  • Bogd Khan Uul National Park - The Bogd Khan Mountain marks the southern most edge of Siberian ecosystem. This strictly protected Natural Park is a home to various types of plants, wild animals and birds, and is a great place for a getaway from a crowded city life. You will hike to Tsetsee Gun, the highest peak (2256m) of Bogd Khan Mountain with magnificent granite cliffs.
  • Manzushir Monastery - Visit the monastery complex which was originally built in 1733. It was completely destroyed during anti-religion campaigns of 1930-ies with just the main temple remaining to these days. But apart from it we will see a few sections of shattered walls, foundations, stone terraces and some stone niches in the cliffs. The main temple building was recently been renovated and now serves as museum.

Super helpful - highly recommended! - Batbayar and his colleague were super helpful. I wanted to hike on Mt Bogd Khan but travelling solo made a tour very expensive. Instead Batbayar arranged a car and driver for me and gave me lots of tips, maps, GPS tracks and advice so that I could visit and hike on my own. The service was exceptional and their English excellent. I would highly recommend them whether you are looking to join a tour or for some help and advice to make a trip independently.

This is a great way to escape from... - <p>This is a great way to escape from the city for a day and get a little exercise. My girlfriend and I were the only 2 people in the group and we really enjoyed speaking with our informative and interesting guide. We did a 12-km round-trip hike to the top of Mt. Bogd Khan for some great views of the city. The hike is moderately strenuous and a good portion of it is on rocks or through a wooded area. We saw lots of squirrels, but no deer or foxes. We had a beautiful sunny day, and our hike was one of the highlights of our trip to Mongolia.</p>
