Ulaan Tsutgalan Waterfall
VideoIn Bat-Ulzii soum of Uvurkhangai aimag, there lies the waterfall
with the largest volume in Mongolia - Ulaan Tsutgalan Waterfall. Located about
30 km from the soum center, the waterfall falls from a height of 24 meters,
with a width of about 10 meters.
The Orkhon River flows through 130 km of volcanic rocks from the Gyatruu
range to Kharkhorin soum. During the Quaternary period, a volcanic eruption
took place near the source of Tsagaan Azarga River that is sourced from the
Khangai range, flowing down the Orkhon Valley and creating thick layers of
volcanic rock stretching out for several dozens of kilometers. It was through
these layers of volcanic rock that the Orkhon River continuously flowed
throughout the years, creating the gorge today.
While the Arsai Waterfall located in Khoridol Saridag, Khuvsgul
aimag, is considered as the highest waterfall for falling from a height of 70
meters, the Ulaan Tsutgalan Waterfall is considered as the biggest for its
width and volume of water.
