Getting There
The park is located in the far northeast of Khentii Province, 280 km northeast of Ulaanbataar.
What to Expect
The Onon-Balj basin is located at the southern edge of Siberian boreal coniferous forest and stretched into Daurian steppe. Situated at the juncture of two big ecosystems of central Asia, the area is unique with its natural formation and rich in biodiversity. Yet, the ecosystem is very fragile.
The forest and steppe landscape, its composition and specific ecological functions, also serves as a home to a number of rare and endangered species in Mongolia and the globally endangered birds such as white-napped crane, hooded crane and great bustard and a number of aquatic Asian species.
History
In addition to its nature beauty and picturesque areas, the basin is abundant with historically and culturally important areas, particularly the historical sites related to Chinggis Khan, the Mongolian Emperor and other historical, cultural, scientific and ecological significant areas.
