Fly to Bayan-Ulgii → Drive to Tsambagarav Valley (40 km)
Early morning flight at 7:00 AM to Bayan-Ulgii. Meet the crew, do last-minute shopping, and take a short walk through Ulgii town. Drive to Tsambagarav Valley and set up camp. Overnight tent camping.

Hiking Day 1: Valley → Bayan Lake (30 km)
After checking gear, we start our first full hiking day through a wide valley. Expect herds, distant nomad homes, and real Western Mongolian Mountain atmosphere. Support vehicles follow the whole way. Reaching Bayan Lake in the evening — snowcapped peaks make a perfect backdrop. Overnight tent camping.

Hiking Day 2: Bayan Lake → Khovd River (30 km)
Mostly flat terrain at first, then a gradual climb to a small pass. Descend to Bayan Nuur town in the afternoon and continue toward the Khovd River. The river and town welcome you into a calmer landscape. Overnight tent camping.

Hiking Day 3: Khovd River Route (27 km, walk + horseback)
Today you meet local Kazakh families. We use horses to cross the river — this spot is one of the best photo points of the whole trek. Walk and ride alongside the river with Tsambagarav rising behind you. Overnight tent camping.

Rest Day / Short Hike (6 km) + Eagle Hunter Family Visit
Morning visit to a Kazakh eagle hunter’s home — a major highlight of the trip. After a 40 km drive, we reach the next camp. Set up tents, rest, and enjoy a relaxed afternoon. In the evening, take a sunset hike toward the slopes of Tsambagarav. Overnight tent camping.

Hiking Day 5: Toward Tsast Uul (21 km)
A full day of classic Western Mongolian scenery: springs, animals, summer yurts, and big open valleys. Tsast Uul — a branch peak of Tsambagarav — stands directly ahead for most of the walk. Overnight tent camping.

Drive to Khovd City
Drive 20 km off-road and another 120 km on paved road to Khovd city. Check into the hotel and explore the town. Khovd is one of Mongolia’s oldest multicultural towns — Mongol, Kazakh, Uriankhai, Tuvan, and other groups all live here. The old market, the riverbank, and the quiet streets give you a good sense of Western Mongolian daily life.

Fly Back to Ulaanbaatar → Chinggis Statue & Terelj NP
Fly to Ulaanbaatar. Drive to the Tsonjin Boldog Chinggis Khaan Statue Complex, then continue to Terelj National Park. Visit the Aryabal Meditation Temple. Stay overnight at a ger camp.

 Leisure Day in Ulaanbaatar
Drive back to the city. Free time for museums, cafés, or last-chance cashmere shopping. Easy day to unwind after the trek.

Departure Day. Transfer to the airport for your flight home.
