The Selenga River is one of the most important in the country. Its mouth is in Mongolia and it crosses the aïmag (region) that bears the same name before reaching Russia's Lake Baïkal; it accounts for 50% of the country's freshwater sources.

Check out the river's course and put it on your list - the Selenga River is a must during a trip to Mongolia.

The Selenga is a confluent of the River Ider. It's mouth is in Mongolia's Khangaï Mountains and this majestic river forms a delta as it reaches Lake Baïkal in Russia. It flows along a staggering 1,470km!
My suggestion
To the east, the Selenga Rivera passes through a multi-coloured landscape that boasts some stunning sunsets. I suggest you climb up one of hills that line the banks, to enjoy the beautiful panoramic view across the horizon.
