Tes River, River system in Zavkhan Province, Mongolia and Tuva, Russia
The Tes River extends for 568 kilometers through Mongolia and Russia, forming a natural border between the two countries and feeding into Uvs Lake.
Throughout centuries, the Tes River has supported nomadic communities, providing water for livestock and sustaining traditional agricultural practices in the region.
The communities along the Tes River maintain fishing traditions and seasonal celebrations that connect Mongolian and Tuvan populations across the international boundary.
Two bridges cross the Tes River near Tsetserleg and Bayantes, providing essential transportation links for travelers between Mongolia and Russia.
