Tsagaan suvarga, Natural rock formation in Ulziit, Mongolia.
The limestone cliffs of Tsagaan Suvarga extend for 400 meters and reach heights between 30 to 60 meters above the surrounding plains.
The sedimentary layers of Tsagaan Suvarga reveal an ancient seabed from millions of years ago, containing numerous marine fossils and preserved clamshells.
Local communities named this formation White Stupa due to its resemblance to Buddhist monuments that house sacred relics across Mongolia.
The site stands 420 kilometers from Ulaanbaatar and 85 kilometers from Ulziit town, with several ger camps providing accommodation for visitors.
The mineral-rich cliff faces display different colors throughout the day, from white and yellow to red and pink, reflecting the geological composition.
