Peak 2222m, Bayankhongor

hike | 2023-06-14

Bayankhongor offered the next chapter in our adventure. Initially drawn to “Peak 2085m, Bayankhongor,” we found ourselves atop “Peak 2222m, Bayankhongor” just minutes later. The views from both peaks, while impressive, weren’t quite jaw-dropping but certainly worth the effort. Tomorrow brings an unplanned climb of Tariani Bogd, adding an element of spontaneity to our journey.

Once more, we managed to park our car tantalizingly close to the summit.
Gradual slopes extend from all sides of the summit.
The summit is marked by a cairn.
