Hiking / Trekking

Experience the ultimate escape into nature with trekking and hiking in Mongolia, a paradise for those seeking solitude, adventure, and immersion in unspoiled landscapes. With an average altitude of 1,580m, Mongolia’s terrain varies dramatically, from the vast eastern steppe at 560m to the towering Altai Mountain peaks reaching over 4,000m. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned trekker, Mongolia offers a unique journey through its diverse geography.

Beginners can enjoy short hikes through lush green valleys, scale sand dunes, or climb dormant volcanoes, with convenient access from parking areas. These gentle treks allow you to discover the wilderness, rich biodiversity, and captivating flora and fauna. For seasoned adventurers, western Mongolia’s rugged Altai Mountains, the pristine Naiman Lakes in the Khangai region, and the Khoridol Saridag mountains near Khuvsgul Lake present a trekker’s paradise. Typical hikes cover 20–25 km or 4–5 hours a day, with baggage transported on horses guided by local wranglers.

Mongolia’s sparsely populated, boundless landscapes lack official trekking routes, creating a rare sense of exploration and discovery. Here, you won’t follow crowded paths; instead, you’ll craft your journey through Siberian birch forests, rolling sand dunes, and rocky mountain trails. Every step is an invitation to reconnect with nature, free from the rush of modern life.

Covering an area as vast as Western Europe, Mongolia’s treks allow you to slow down, leave behind the confines of time, and embrace the sheer joy of being present in its wide-open spaces. With no boundaries or barriers, trekking here is an adventure for all ages and abilities—a once-in-a-lifetime experience of Mongolia’s untamed beauty.
