Mt Khuiten - 4,375m
We have a new exciting trip to climb Mt Khuiten in Mongolia, in June/July 2010. This expedition will be led by Lydia Bradey, AC Mountain guide and first woman to climb Mt Everset without oxygen, who has led several expeditions to Mt Khuiten and the surrounding region before.
Mt Khuiten is in far western Mongolia and is part of the 'Five Kings of the Altai' mountain range. This trip also takes in the Nadaam festival in Olgii.
The climbing is at an introductory level although remote, and there are multiple opportunities for sightseeing and trekking in this fascinating region also. Mongolia is everything you imagine it to be - empty plains and big skies, and an ancient people still riding their horses as part of their everyday lives.
