ORKHON WATERFALL Is located 100km from Kharkhorin city, the Orkhon rivers flows into the Ulaan river. It features a waterfall,
ten meters wide and twenty meters high. In 2.5 million years, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occurred at the head of the
Tsagaan Azarga river, located in the Khangai mountain range. The hot lava created a layer of thick basalt stone mulch that is
hundreds of km deep. Geologist think that The Orkhon rivers flow on the basalt stone river created a massive canyon.
Eight lakes of varying size are located in the Khangai mountain range in central Mongolia, these mountains have formed from the
volcanic eruptions that have occurred throughout the ages. The names of the lakes are Shireet, Khaliut, Bugat, Khaya, Duruu, Onon,
Khuis, and Bayan-uul. These lakes are 2700m-3165m above sea level. The distance between the lakes rages from 500m to 3 km.
The biggest lake is called lake Shireet. These lakes are surrounded by Siberian pines and a Siberian larch forest.
The mountains around these lakes are connected by a flat area that is made up of volcanic stone.
Around this area, there are a few volcanic craters. These lakes were created when the Khanbayan volcano erupted behind the
Khangai mountain range, and its lava thickened and hardened, blocking the Tsagaan-azragariver. An area of 11.500 hectares
has been protected as a National Park since 1995.
