The only peak in the Khangai range capped with a permanent glacier, standing at 4,021 meters.
Bor Khyarin Sands
Stunning golden sand dunes that contrast sharply against the surrounding rocky steppe.
Dorgon Lake
A massive saline lake located in the Great Lakes Depression, appearing like a blue mirror in the desert.
Altai Mountain Range
The rugged, snow-dusted peaks of the Altai begin to dominate the horizon as the plane nears Khovd.
Nomadic Gers
White nomadic settlements (yurts) visible across the vast plains of the Zavkhan province.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the sacred Otgon Tenger peak. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the southern faces of the mountains. During winter, look for frozen river patterns that resemble intricate silver veins across the landscape.
