Mongolia’s highest peak, Altai Tavan Bogd (sometimes known as Huiten Uul Mountain), towers 4,374 meters (15,000 feet) above sea level and overlooks Mongolia’s borders with China and Russia in the west. The eternal snow and glaciers on the peaks of Mt Tavan Bogd make it a magnificent sight, but a challenging climb, which requires considerable endurance and experience from the brave mountaineers who attempt to summit the mountain. Teams of both local and international mountaineers climb Mt Tavan Bogd every year, but most visitors choose to hike the foothills near the highest peaks.
