Geography

The Bayankhongor aimag includes very diverse geographic areas. The north covers the southern slopes of the Khangai Mountains. The wide valley south of that contains several salt lakes. Next comes a section of the Gobi-Altai mountain range. And the southern end down to the chinese border is part of the Trans-Altai Gobi. The Khangai mountains (mongolian , Khangain nuruu) are a mountain range in central Mongolia, some 400 kilometres south-west of Ulaanbaatar. ... The Altay Mountains (Russian: ; Mongolian: , Altai) are a mountain range in central Asia, where Russia, China, Mongolia and Kazakhstan come together, and where the great rivers Irtysh, Ob and Yenisei have their sources. ... The Gobi Desert lies in the territory of the Peoples Republic of China and the State of Mongolia. ...


In the Khangai there are many hot mineral springs, with water temperatures up to 50°C. The most popular ones are located near Shargalchuut, about 60 km north of the aimag capital.


Most of the lakes are found in the central plane. This valley has no drain, so that the lakes contain salt water. The largest are the Orog nuur and the Böön tsagaan nuur.


The tallest mountain of the aimag is the Ikhee Bogd in the Gobi-Altai. Other than in the forested Khangai, the Altai range suffers from an arid desert climate. Similar to the adjacent Gobi it is only sparsely populated.
