General presentation
Burkhan Khaldun et Khentii
Sacred mountain, taiga and Onon and Kherlen basins form a highly regulated protected area of access.
Burkhan Khaldun and Khentii are found around Burkhan Khaldun, Sources of Kherlen and Mounts Khentii. The stay thus alternates between mountain reliefs, forests, heritage and natural spaces, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Place indismissible
Burkhan Khaldun
The mountain is linked to the origins of Gengis Khan and remains a major sacred place. Access to the protected heart is limited; cultural and environmental rules must take precedence. A slow visit allows to go beyond the only points of view the best known.

Sources de la Kherlen
Kherlen is born in the Khentii Mountains before crossing the eastern steppe. Landscapes are isolated, humid in summer and difficult to reach without autonomous logistics. Light, wind and season greatly transform the landscape.
Place indismissible
Monts Khentii
The Khentii Mountains form a transition of taiga and valleys between Siberia and Mongolian steppe. The relief seems soft, but marshes, rivers and lack of roads make travel demanding.
