1. 5.0 Ikh Gazriin Chuluu Nature Reserve (5 reviews)
   - A remarkable place in a remakable country
   Spent More than 3 hours National Parks • Nature & Wildlife Areas • Deserts • Geologic Formations
   This is a most unusual place. It's a quiet and out of the way even by Mongolia/Govi standards. Rock formations like you've never seen. Known for numbers of cinereous vultures (also known sometimes as black or monk vultures) - can be 4 feet long with a wingspread up to 10 feet. Some believe this to be a sacred place and I have to say, it has a certain feel. It has an interesting history involving a rebellious monk. Friends and I visited here as part of a wonderful 3 week tour of central Mongolia with Mongolia Quest - this was my favorite place. The associated ger camp is simple and quiet, family run. The paths are delineated with rough amethysts from the local formations. It was my favorite camp of all we stayed at (some are way too posh and resort-y). A little off the beaten track and worth the trouble. See more..

   Mines
   
   
   Tsagaan Suvarga is a formation of rocky cliffs that are composed of different ores that when exposed to oxygen turn different colors. There are pinks, reds, oranges in the rocks, and in the springtime when the grass is green and the flowers are blooming, it looks like a rainbow on the land. This area makes for amazing photos. Definitely figure this into your tour. See more..
