What you can do there:
At the Nature Reserve tourists can see and take pictures
of the endangered beautiful wild mountain sheep Argali
the Big Horns from the closest distance. The Argali
is very rare today and not seen in many places. Mongolia
is one of the few places that are last homes for this
beautiful species. It is a big opportunity to catch
the UP-CLOSEST glimpse of the endangered Wild mountain
sheep-Argali.
Throughout the reserve, many locations provide great
angles to view a number of rare waterbird species
including the White Crane, White napped crane, Black
stork, Swan goose, Asian pond heron, Black Stork and
the beautiful Whooper swan.
Good telescopes and binoculars are also available
to enhance the great experience. Unfortunately, most
of these wonderful birds are now going extinct and
existing only in a very few countries. Horse riding
in the mountains, steppes and along the river is just
awesome! Gallop on the ground where once the greatest
emperor of all time the Genghis Khaan once travelled!
There is great FISHING on the quiet Kherlen River
including Taimen, Pike, Lenok, Burbot, Amur Catfish
and Sturgeon. Go fishing to encounter the mighty fish!
Visiting nomadic families will be unforgettable beautiful
experience as you will love their faces with real
smiles, hospitality, simple, unique and peaceful lifestyle.
You also can ride camel/yak or travel with camel/yak
carts as these are merged parts of nomadic lifestyle.
