In Arkhangai's central region the landscape gradually changes from the stifling desert conditions of the Gobi, in the south, to the Siberian taiga of the north. The area is made up of forest (rare in Mongolia), steppes, and a mixture of small valleys and uneven mountain terrain.

My suggestion

Tsetserleg serves as a good base from which to explore the wider region: the city has its own attractions to offer, and you'll be able to relax and properly organise your excursions into the surrounding area from there.

My suggestion

It's best to tour on horseback, so you can explore its nooks and crannies, whilst meeting some amazing people along the way.
