Bogd Khan Mountain: Tsetsee Gun Peak Hike & Monastery tour

3.Bogd Khan Mountain: Tsetsee Gun Peak Hike & Monastery tour

Guided hike to Tsetsee Gun Peak from Ulaanbaatar, forest picnic, and Manzushir Monastery ruins, with a small-group English guide.

During the tour there were very vibrant exchanges about hiking skills as well as in-depth discussions of Mongolians'…”
