Description
Meet with your guide and drive to the ruins of Manzushir Monastery on the edge of Bogd Khan mountain range. From there we take a 3-4 hour hike on a trail of moderate difficulty through mixed forests and alpine meadows to 2256m Tsetsee Gun peak, the highest point of the mountain range. We have a picnic lunch on the peak with scenic views of typical Siberian forests in the background before heading back down. We 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. We return to Ulaanbaatar in late afternoon.

Great hike in nature
It was a great hike in a beautiful surrounding. After spending some time in Ulaanbataar city center, it was a good getaway into nature, and from the top of mountain we had good views of the city from afar.
MJ was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide and gave us a lot of information about Mongolian history, culture and society. She also brought good food for lunch. Our driver Ari was also very friendly and we felt safe during the 1-hour-drive to the starting point of the hike and on the way back.
Even though the hike is a bit more expensive than other daytrips, we would highly recommend it as you get a truly personal and individual experience, as we were the only guests and could hike at our preferred speed and stop whenever we liked for pictures etc. As we were only 3 girls on the hike including MJ as guide, it felt more like a hike with a group of friends. 😊

Excellent Tour with Tsenge
I can’t ask for a better tour right from the start to the end. The company was very responsive to my emails even at late hours and sent over an email confirming my pickup deals the night before.
Tsenge, my tour guide is extremely prompt, arriving before the scheduled pick up time and is knowledgable about the National Park and Mongolia. I learnt a lot from him. He is also a great navigator, as there are some portions the signage is not too clear.
Would definitely recommend this company and guide any day.
Operator response
Thank you very much again for choosing our services and for the great review. I'm sure it will lead more customers and help them to make an informed decision when considering us.

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>
