▒ Tourist Information

☆ Altai Mountains
The Altai Mountains are a 1,900 km long mountain range that spans the borders of Russia, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan.
Located at the heart of Asia, this range, like the Ural Mountains, serves as one of the major watersheds of the Central Asia-Siberia region. The word "Altai" is derived from Mongolian and means "gold."
The highest peak is Mount Belukha, which stands at 4,506 meters above sea level. The range borders Kazakhstan to the southwest, Mongolia to the southeast, and Russia's southwestern Siberia. The term "Altaic languages" in linguistic studies is derived from the name of this mountain range.
The Altai Mountains are known as the origin area for various ethnic groups and races, including Eastern Europeans, some Northern Europeans, Central Asians, Siberians, Mongolians, Manchurians, Koreans, Japanese, and Native Americans. The syntax structure of the languages in these regions follows the subject-object-verb (SOV) order, similar to Korean, unlike English and Chinese.
Currently, the Altai Mountain region is predominantly inhabited by Kazakhs. Even though some areas administratively fall under Mongolia, most of the local population is of Kazakh ethnicity. Many people in this region speak both Mongolian and Kazakh.
From Ulaanbaatar to Bayan-Ölgii, the capital of the Altai region, is approximately 2,000 km to the west, and it takes about two days of non-stop driving to get there.

▒ Travel insurance is not included. Before you leave, you must sign up for it in your own country.

▒ Don't leave the group during the city tour.

☞ Personal preparations

▒ Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, is located 1,300 meters above sea level. In summer, there is a cool breeze in the bright sunlight. However, since the daily temperature difference is large in the morning and evening of the year, it is recommended to prepare a windbreaker or a thin outerwear even in the middle of summer.
You can prepare winter jackets in May, thick autumn jackets in June, autumn hiking suits in July and August, slightly thick autumn jackets in September, fully winter jackets in October, and fully armed winter jackets from November to April.

▒ Liquor sales are legally prohibited on the first day of every month.

▒ It's good to prepare a personal simple side dish.

▒ Long pants and sneakers (climbing boots) are good for nomadic and horseback riding experiences during the schedule.

▒ Mongolia has strong sunlight, so it is good to prepare sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat with strings.

▒ When you look at the stars at night, if you have a thin mat on the ground, you can lie down and enjoy the stars. (Twinkle Twinkle)

▒ It is also good to prepare gloves (climbing gloves) for horseback riding.

▒ It is good to prepare toiletries (toothpaste, toothbrush, razor, etc.) that will be used simply during GER stay.

▒ It is very convenient to have a hiking wand when trekking.

▒ I would be very grateful if you prepare a few 1 dollar tickets and give a 1 dollar tip to the horseman and others when riding.

▒ Local Temperature: Mongolia's climate is continental, with long winters and cold summers short and pleasant and warm.
Winter is considered to be from mid-October to April.
In the northwest of Mongolia, temperatures can drop to minus 40 to 50 degrees Celsius in the middle of winter.
