Terkhiin Tsagaan Lake area is extremely rich in wildlife and flora, which was designated as a national park to protect the spectacular mountain scenery and endangered species. Astonishingly beautiful, the clear water lake Terkhiin Tsagaan formed after lava flows from the volcanoes blocked the north and south water access from the Terkh Rivers. The lake is 16km long, 6 - 10km wide, 20m deep, and lies 2060m above sea level.
