Ulaan Tsutgalan waterfall, Waterfall in Övörkhangai Province, Mongolia
The cascade plunges 24 meters into the Orkhon River, cutting through dark volcanic rocks that form a deep canyon in central Mongolia.
The waterfall emerged 20,000 years ago when volcanic eruptions and earthquakes shaped the landscape, creating a path through basalt formations.
The surrounding valleys support traditional nomadic families who maintain their customs while grazing livestock across the rugged terrain.
Late July and August offer the strongest water flow, while winter transforms the falls into solid ice formations suitable for climbing.
The water drops into a 22-meter-deep canyon filled with pine trees, creating a natural pool at the base of the falls.
