About Jargalantiin am
Jargalantyn Am is a scenic valley on the flanks of Bogd Khan Mountain, one of the oldest protected areas in the world. Lying within Ulaanbaatar's Khan-Uul district only about 20 km from the city center, it has become one of the capital's favorite spots for day trips and a quick escape into nature.
Bogd Khan Mountain was formally placed under protection in 1778 on the initiative of the court minister Yündendorj, and in 1997 it was inscribed as a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. The larch and birch forests cloaking its slopes, the clean mountain air, and the rich variety of wildlife and birds make Jargalantyn Am an ideal place to rest close to nature, far from the city noise.
Here visitors can hike or mountain-bike the mountain trails, go horseback riding, stay overnight in ger camps and resorts, and enjoy traditional Mongolian cuisine. The tourist camps and resorts in Jargalantyn Am typically operate year-round, so you can relax comfortably in the cool of summer, the golden larches of autumn, or the snows of winter.
