Bogd Khan Uul Biosphere Reserve, Biosphere reserve near Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
The reserve spans 67,300 hectares across the Khentii Mountains, featuring dense coniferous forests on northern slopes and bare rock formations on southern sides.
The area received its first protection measures in the thirteenth century when Tooril Khan, ruler of the Keraites, prohibited logging and hunting activities.
The mountain holds religious significance in Mongolian Buddhism, leading to traditional ceremonies and worship practices that continue today after resuming in 1995.
Visitors can explore multiple hiking trails, with the path to Tsetsee Gun summit requiring approximately three hours for ascent and reaching 2,256 meters.
The reserve contains over 220 plant species and provides habitat for musk deer, Siberian ibex, red deer, and wild boars in its diverse ecological zones.
