Gun Galuut nature reserve

In Bayandelger soum of Töv Province, there are two lakes called Ikh Gun and Baga Gun. South of these lakes, the Ayagiin River flows southeast and joins the Kherlen River. The northern slope of the river is called Ayaga Mountain, and in one of its valleys, D. Natsagdorj, the founder of modern Mongolian literature, was born.


In the Bayan and Berkh mountains of Gun-Galuutai, various wildlife, including the globally rare Argali sheep listed in Mongolia's "Red Book," as well as marmots, wolves, vultures, and eagles, are abundant. Besides Gun Lake, the picturesque Ayaga Lake and Tsengiin Burd attract rare birds such as the white crane, demoiselle crane, black crane, great white heron, black stork, and white-tailed eagle.


In addition to its natural beauty, the area is rich in historical and cultural monuments.Tthe ruins of the 13th-century city of Undur Dov are located here, along with ancient graves, tombs, and human statues.
