Yolt basin is a part of the Altai Tavan Bogd National Park and located along the country’s western frontier where Mongolia borders with China. The forested and untouched Yolt Valley is home to some rare species such as snow leopard, wild sheep Argai, Ibex, and brown bear. This mountainous area is relatively cool compared to the other parts of Mongolia and is extremely rich in medicinal plants. It is the least traveled horse riding and trekking destination in Mongolia.
You will not see a single nomad family in Yolt Valley. Therefore, you should camp when travel in this isolated area. Border control permission is required to travel the Yolt Valley.
