Hiking in Altai Tavan Bogd National Park
The brief description of our three-days hiking trip to Altai Tavan Bogd National Park in Western Mongolia, including climbing to Malchin Peak - one of the fifth highest on the territory of the park.
From the top of the peak a nice panorama view opens towards to the massif tallest point - Khuiten Peak (4374 m.a.s.l.); also, it included some views of Potanin glacier and base camp; hope, it could be interesting for those independent travellers who `d like to visit Mongolian Altai.
