Tsambagarav Mountain
Цамбагарав уул
A snow-capped national park with peaks at about 4,200 m. Herders gather on the pastures below in summer, and visitors can hike to see the glaciers.
Tsambagarav Mountain straddles Bayan-Ölgii and Khovd provinces. Its main peak rises to about 4,200 m, capped with an ice cap and glaciers, and the area was designated a national park in the 1990s. In summer, the grasslands at its foot become herders' camps, where you can stay in a ger, go horse riding or hike to the front of the glaciers. Snow leopards have also been recorded here. The roads are unpaved, so you need an off-road vehicle and a driver familiar with the routes. The mountain is about 100 km from Ölgii. Trips usually take one to two days and are often combined with Tolbo Lake.
