Waterfalls on the Kyngarga River, Cascade of waterfalls in Tunka District, Russia.

The Kyngarga River features twelve waterfalls, with the main cascade reaching seven meters in height through a narrow canyon.

The waterfalls gained recognition after the establishment of Arshan resort in the early 20th century, becoming a natural landmark for visitors.

Local Buryat people collect sagaan-dali, a rhododendron species growing near the waterfalls, to prepare traditional medicinal tea.

The first waterfall stands 1.5 kilometers from Arshan resort, with a wooden bridge positioned ten meters above the water for viewing.

The fan cascade waterfall displays a distinctive pattern as water flows over angular rock formations, creating multiple separate streams.
