Naiman Nuur National Park is located in the Övörkhangai province, in the Khangai mountain range, and presents the typical landscapes of the high mountains of Mongolia with its large larch forests.

The region of Naiman Nuur, "Eight Lakes", was formed following volcanic eruptions that took place over the centuries. The park lies at 2400 meters above sea level, and an area of ​​11,500 hectares was declared a National Park in 1992.

The lakes are about 35 km southwest of Orkhon Falls, but the trail is impassable. This route is then only accessible to hikers and horse riders who will enjoy prodigious nature in the calm of a forest path, while jeeps will have to go around the mountains via Bat Ulzii (130 km), or even, in the event of heavy rain, via the Khujirt track (260 km).

The eight lakes in question are Shireet Lakes, the largest and most beautiful in the region, Khaliut, Bugat, Khaya, Khuis, Shanaa, Doroo and Bayan Uul. Two of the smaller lakes are completely dry, while the second largest lake, Khuis Nuur, is 90% dry.

The national park is located in a high mountain area, comprising alpine sub-meadows, as well as coniferous forests (Siberian pine and Siberian larch). In the north of the protected area, we find valleys littered with volcanic stones. The mountain peaks are barren.

The region is very cool, and snowstorms are not uncommon in June, or from mid-August onwards. In the heart of summer, the thermometer rarely exceeds 20°C during the day. Between 400 and 500 millimeters of rain fall per year.
