Deep in the far west of Mongolia, where the borders of China, Russia, and Mongolia converge, rises a mountain massif of extraordinary power — Altai Tavan Bogd, "The Five Sacred Peaks of the Altai."
This is the precise region where our shilajit is wildcrafted. At elevations exceeding 3,500 meters, the ancient resin seeps from rock crevices during warmer months — the concentrated product of organic matter compressed under these very peaks for millions of years.
The Khüiten Peak (meaning "Cold") rises to 4,374m — the highest point in Mongolia. Surrounding it are four sister peaks, each named for a sacred quality. Mongolians, Kazakhs, and Tuvans have revered these mountains as Bogd — a word reserved for the profoundly wise and sacred.
The park encompasses 6,362 km² of pristine wilderness, including 34 glaciers and 3 ancient lakes. This untouched highland landscape has never been subject to industrial human activity — a guarantee of purity.
