For the hike, bring a small backpack and only the essentials, such as water and a waterproof jacket. This is the ultimate way to enjoy the panoramic view of the Altai Mountains (B,L,D)
Acclimatization & Khuiten Ascent
Altai Tavan Bogd means “Holy Five Peaks”. And Malchin is one of the five peaks. On the third day, we will take an acclimatization climb to the Malchin peak, which takes about 6–7 hours. Climbing up is a bit difficult and requires caution. It is not recommended to climb to the top in bad weather conditions.As an alternative, we can suggest you explore the Potanin Glacier, where you can see an icy river and the background of Mount Khuiten. The next four days are flexible, and we can decide on the plan depending on the upcoming weather conditions. If the weather is good and conditions dictate, we will climb to the summit in the first couple of days.In the last few days, we can start climbing Malchin Peak and Nairamdal Peak, but it’s optional. To the high camp, we will trek on the Potanin glacier. This is Mongolia’s longest glacier with a number of crevasses. Some of them reach over 200 meters deep.During the mountaineering, you will be guided by a local mountaineer who knows the land perfectly and can lead the group. The porter guys will support us with the baggage, such as camping and meals. Once you climb to the very top, you can enjoy the stunning view of the Altai Mountains. Also, you have an opportunity to see the lands of four countries. Enjoy your Khiten ascent!(B,L,D)
