Baga turgen khurkhree (waterfall)

In the province of Bayan-Ulgii, Tsengel Sum is home to the Baga Turgen Waterfall (Western Mongolia). Beautiful mountain, ideal for hikers, wildlife enthusiasts, and people with various lifestyles. The Baga Turgen waterfall, which is divided into two stages, is located in the Turgen Uul valley of the Altai Mountain range. The Turgen river, which flows through the local Kazakh nomads, was created from the glacial snowfall that covers the Altai mountains.

Numerous endangered species, including red deer, ibex, snow leopards, lynx, and wolves, call the Baga Turgen Falls home. Additionally, unusual flora like Altai onion and golden sage may be present. The Upper Mountain Depression also has a number of freshwater ponds and lakes. At a height of roughly 3,000 meters above sea level, dozens of cave paintings are regarded as rare historical and cultural treasures. These paintings are located along the Western Mountains. Near the lakes Khoton and Khurgan is the Baga Turgen waterfall. It offers a fantastic route experience and is well concealed in the highlands. Although the hike to the waterfall is quite short and only somewhat difficult at the end, the scenery along the way is simply breathtaking.
