Khüiten Peak (Mongolian: Хүйтний оргил, cold peak; also Frendship Peak, Mongolian: Найрамдал оргил Nairamdal orgil; Chinese: 友誼峰, Youyi Feng) is the highest point in Mongolia, located in the far west of the country. The Peak towers at the elevation of 4,374 m (14,350 feet, previously 4,356 m) under the permanent snow-cap. It is one of five peaks in the Tavan Bogd Massiv (five saints), together with the the Tavan Bogd Uul, which about 2.5 km further north marks the border triangle between Russia, Mongolia, and China. Some sources also label the Khüiten as "Tavan Bogd Uul".
