Arkhangai, Provincial region in central Mongolia
Arkhangai is a province in central Mongolia characterized by mountainous terrain and numerous water features. The landscape varies in elevation and includes valleys, plateaus, and highland areas that shape the geography.
The province was established in 1931 as an administrative division of Mongolia. Over time it developed into an organized territory with established governance centers and settlements.
The province contains numerous archaeological sites including ancient tombs, Kheregsuur funerary monuments, old city ruins, statues, and petroglyphs throughout its landscape.
Tsetserleg serves as the administrative center and main hub for visitors to the region. It is wise to bring what you need since supplies become scarce in remote areas away from town.
