Khoit Tsenkher Cave Rock Art, Prehistoric cave art site in Mankhan Sum, Khovd Province, Mongolia.
The limestone cave contains two main halls, with the largest featuring 15-meter walls and a 20-meter round ceiling at 1571 meters above sea level.
Dating back 40,000 years to the Upper Paleolithic period, the cave walls display numerous animal drawings made with umber and red ochre pigments.
The paintings reveal a collection of regional fauna including stags, buffalo, oxen, ibex, lions, sheep, antelopes, camels, elephants, ostriches, and mammoths.
Located 25 kilometers west of Mankhan soum and 1340 kilometers from Ulaanbaatar, the site offers accommodation at a ger camp one kilometer away.
Three rivers named Tsenkher flow near the cave: North Tsenkher, Middle Tsenkher, and South Tsenkher, with the cave positioned closest to North Tsenkher.
