Uran-Togoo Tulga Uul Natural Monument

Uran Togoo contains a circular crater with a small lake measuring 20 meters wide and 1.5 meters deep at its center point.

The Natural Monument received its protected status in 1995, encompassing 5,800 hectares of volcanic terrain including Uran, Tulga, Togoo, and Jalavch mountains.

The mountains earned names based on traditional Mongolian cooking vessels, with Tulga referencing a three-legged cooking support and Jalavch meaning small pot.

Visitors can access the monument through a paved road leading to a parking area, with hiking trails circling the rim and descending into the volcanic crater.

The fertile volcanic soil supports diverse plant life, including larch forests, birch trees, and grasslands where numerous animal species find their habitat.
