Arkhangai

A steppe province in the Khangai Mountains, where the White Lake, Khorgo volcano and hot springs make up classic central Mongolian scenery.

Arkhangai lies on the northern slopes of the Khangai Mountains in central Mongolia, with steppe, river valleys and forest interwoven. Traditional nomadic life is well preserved here, and the capital is Tsetserleg. In the west, the clear waters of Terkhiin Tsagaan Lake (the White Lake) lie beside Khorgo volcano, whose crater you can hike up; around Tsagaan Sum there are hot-spring camps, and Taikhar Rock is a well-known local landmark. In summer you can experience herder life and go horse riding. The best season is June to September, and it takes about a day to drive from Ulaanbaatar.
