In Mongolia, it’s
easy for a traveler to be quickly swept away by the endless green
steppes, the heartiness of the Kazakh nomads, and the rolling landscapes
that define the Altai Mountains. This makes the trek to Mount Khuiten
as enjoyable and scenic as the climb itself.
The mountain
straddles the corners of Russia, China, and Mongolia. To reach it,
trekkers must cross a golden, vast, and barren landscape that is one of
the last remote regions on Earth. This remarkable journey is enhanced by
the gentle hospitality of the Kazakh nomads.
