Har Us Nuur National Park

The park spans 321,360 hectares, containing three large shallow lakes: Har Us Nuur, Har Nuur, and Dorgon Nuur, surrounded by extensive reed beds and marshlands.

The lakes within the national park formed part of a more extensive water system that existed 5,000 years ago, receiving water flow from the Altai Mountains.

The territory encompasses numerous sacred locations and archaeological sites, while local residents maintain semi-nomadic animal herding traditions.

Visitors can access the park through designated entry points, with optimal viewing conditions for migratory birds occurring during spring and autumn seasons.

The national park houses three fish species found nowhere else in the world, along with substantial populations of endangered waterfowl like the White-headed Duck.
