According to UNESCO, the region “represents the evolution of a pastoral nomadic civilization over two thousand years.” For centuries, the Orkhon Valley served as a crossroads of civilizations, connecting East and West and being the political, commercial, cultural and religious center of nomadic empires, including the Mongol Empire. Among the historical and cultural monuments located in the Orkhon Valley are the ruins of Karakorum - the capital of the Mongol Empire (13th century), the Buddhist monastery Erdene -Zuu etc. The Orkhon Valley National Park is also famous for its natural attractions - Mogoit hot springs, Ulaan-Tsutgalan waterfall (Orkhon waterfall).

The park is at an average altitude of 2,400 m and is located in a mountain area with alpine-type meadows.

This place is ideal for hiking or horse riding because the tracks are terribly bad and prevent vehicles from passing through: tranquility is therefore 100% guaranteed. It is a region made up of extinct volcanoes which was formed following successive volcanic eruptions. This left a very green landscape hampered by ancient lava flows and black volcanic rock.

The 8 lakes are called Shireet, Khaliut, Bugat, Khaya, Khuis, Muhhar, Duruu and Bayan-uul and they are connected by a stream with a distance ranging from 500 m to 3 km between the different lakes.

The surface area of ​​the protected area covers 11,500 hectares and aims to preserve the ecosystems of the lakes, which have remained remarkably intact. The park was placed under special protection, and was included in the category of “historical and cultural sites”.

This area is also the habitat of several wild animals such as the gray wolf, deer, wild boar, marmot, small rodents and more than 50 species of birds.
