Tarvagatai Nuruu National Park

Tarvagatai Nuruu National Park covers a large area in the southwestern part of the Tarvagatai Range within the Khangai Mountains system. The park contains various landscape types ranging from forested slopes to open plateaus with different plant and animal life.

The park was established in 2000 by Mongolia's Ministry of Environment and Green Development to protect natural resources in the region. This protection became part of a broader effort to preserve important mountain systems across the country for future generations.

The protected land is still home to Mongolian nomadic herders who practice their traditional way of life across different ecological zones. This way of living remains central to the region's identity and shapes how people interact with the landscape.

Visitors should bring extensive supplies and equipment, as services and facilities are limited in this remote area. Good preparation and self-reliance are key to a safe and enjoyable exploration of the park.

The mountain ridges here stand out for their flat summit surfaces that drop into steep southern slopes, separated by wide valleys below. This distinctive shape was carved by glacial forces and gives the landscape its unusual character.
