Itinerary description
3 to 4 hour hike on a trail of moderate difficulty through mixed forests and alpine meadows to reach the top of the Bogd Khan mountain massif. Imposing rock formations mark the top and a sweet fragrance of juniper incense can be heard with hikers praying and making offerings to the spirits of the mountain. From the height of 2256m above sea level, you can enjoy spectacular views of Siberian woods and distant mountain ranges that undulate all the way to the horizon. Having descend back to the base of the mountain worth visiting are ruins of a Buddhist monastery built in 1733. Apart from the main temple remaining to these days you will see few sections of shattered walls, foundations, stone terraces and some stone niches in the cliffs. Overall, it’s a relaxing full day trip, easily accessible from Ulaanbaatar.
