In the north the province reaches the southern streches of the Khanghai mountains.

In a remote valley which is only reachable by virtually impassable roads you find the "Eight Lakes", Naiman Nuur.

The lakes lie at an altitude of about 2400 meters

I' ve been there - we did not meet any other tourists in two days, only two nomad families. There is no real infrastructure. But the nomads had a motorcycle and a solar powered roof for being connected to the outside world

Nearby, on the way to the valley and its waterfall it is possible to visit Tovkhon Khid, one of the few monasteries which survived the stalinist purges. It regained its function after being restored in the early 1990s

(www.cailanzo.it)

It was founded by Zanabazar (1635-1723) who brought Tibetan Lamaism to Mongolia. Zanabazar founded a lot of monasteries and published religious literature. He later became Mongolia's first religious leader.

The monasteries is locatedhigh above in the mountains at 2550 meters altitude

Thanks for your comments. Here come some photosw from flickr taken on the Nadaam festival. Nadaam is a nationwide and the most popular event in Mongolia throughout the year.

The whole country comes together to celebrate the best men in archery, horseriding and wrestling. Not football, but these three kinds of sports are the most popular in Mongolia.

Rinchinlhumbe · September 9th, 2009, 05:39 PM

Nadaam is celebrated in mid July each year.

While this event has meanwhile become a tourist attraction in Ulaanbaatar, also each province hosts its own small Nadaam practically devoid of tourists.

Some wresters prepare for the fight.
Btw, the horseriding is not inside the stadium but runs along a marked trail through the steppe. Mainly children participate because adults would have too much weight for a horse to win the race.
