Khogno Khan Natural Reserve - Steppe by Steppe - Interactive Map (sitios de interés)

Khognokhaan Natural Reserve covers 46,990 hectares of land and is situated in the territory of Bulgan Province. The taiga and steppe plants grow in this area and represent two or three different natural zones. This area was taken under state protection in 1997.

You can see this 1967 m peak to the north of the main road. At the southern foot of the mountain are the ruins of Uvgun Khiid, built in 1660 after the existing monastery was destroyed and the monks were massacred by the armies of Galdan Boshigt of Zungar, a rival of Zanabazar’s in 1640. The monastery reopened in 1992 and there are a couple of monks from Ulaanbaatar. The ruins of the earlier destroyed monastery are a lovely 45 minute walk along a well-defined path up the valley to the right. The surroundings belong to the 46,900 hectare Khogno Khan Natural Reserve and you might spot ibex, wolves and many varieties of hawk. There are lots of hiking possibilities around here.
