National Parks

Bayan-Olgii is home to 5 national park and strictly protected areas, featuring some of the most beautiful landscapes (including the 2 highest mountains in the country), richest wildlifes, and numerous archeological sites in all of Mongolia. These include the popular Altai Tavan Bogd National Park, with the towering Tavan Bogd Mountains and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Tsambagarav Uul National Park, with the 2nd highest mountain in Mongolia and a diverse offering of wildlife and nomadic herders. There are also several lesser known parks with beautiful scenery, rare animals and birds, ancient treasures, and indigenous tribes residing inside their borders. Each park offers a wide range of unique experiences far away from modern ‘civilization’. So feel free to enjoy any one of our pristine natural areas.
