Dungenee Am
Дунгэнэ ам
Another narrow canyon on the western side of Yolyn Am. It has far fewer visitors than Eagle Valley, with towering rock walls and a stream along the valley floor, and can be explored on foot or on horseback.
Dungenee Am lies in the eastern section of the Gurvan Saikhan Mountains (Zuun Saikhan). It is often visited as an extension of a hike after Yolyn Am, or stopped at on the way from Eagle Valley to the Khongoryn Els dunes. The canyon is several kilometers long, with a wide mouth and a narrowing middle section. Mountain ibex and birds of prey can be seen here. The road is an unmarked dirt track, so you need a driver who knows the route.
