Bogd Khan Uul National Park is a national protected area for Bogd Khan Uul Mountain, the 2261m peak that overlooks Ulaanbaatar. Located south of the city, it’s a popular place for a hike. This is a moderate to challenging trail run — climbing ~1,000m, with some tough footing. The terrain is a combination of dense forest and alpine grassland. It can be beautiful in fall foliage.

The most popular and accessible route is from the north side of the mountain, from Zaisan Hill and from Nukt Am (Valley) or from the south side for Manzushir Monastery (by car).
