Khoid Tamir Deer Stone Site
Хойд Тамирын буган хөшөө
One of the Bronze Age deer stone sites inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2023. Standing stones carved with flying deer and stone burial mounds dot the valley grassland.
The Khoid Tamir site lies in the Khoid Tamir valley about 35 km north of Tsetserleg. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage property 'Deer Stones and Associated Bronze Age Sites', inscribed in 2023. The deer stones are upright slabs from roughly 1200 to 600 BCE, carved with stylized flying deer with elaborate antlers, along with belts and weapons. Large stone burial mounds called khirigsuurs and ritual stone circles are scattered across the grassland. The site has no visitor facilities, so you need a jeep or a hired vehicle, ideally with a driver or guide who knows the roads. It can be combined on the same day with Tayhar Chuluu, about 16 km to the south. Please do not climb on or touch the stones.
