Orkhon Valley

Orkhon Waterfalls is a section of Orkhon Valley, which is situated about 360 kilometers (224 miles) southeast of Ulan Bator in the central portion of the Mongolian country, north of the province of Ovorkhangai. This monument, which has been under UNESCO protection since 1992 and is situated at the base of the Khangai range, spans 121.967 hectares along the Orkhon River. Additionally, a 61.044-hectare buffer zone is secured.

Because numerous successive nomads have lived in the valley from the prehistoric era, the Orkhon River basin is home to numerous historical relics. Because it connected East and West in the center of the vast Eurasian continent, this region is frequently regarded as the birthplace of the nomadic steppes civilisation and was a true meeting place for civilizations during the last millennium.

Currently, Orkhon Waterfalls is a sizable nomad community where a lot of breeders frequently pitch their tents. This region is the ideal location to learn about the nomadic Mongolia in a beautiful leafy backdrop thanks to the attractive steppes' sceneries, which are bordered by the lush Khangai Massif and the rich fauna and flora. Horseback riding is also very enjoyable, and the valley serves as the starting point for many walks and treks in the nearby mountains. In the mountains, you can go biking or fishing.
