Avarga Toson Mineral Spring

Mongolia


This is the natural spring from which Ögedei Khaan, son of Chinggis, took water and was cured of a serious stomach ailment (before he went on to drink himself to death). You can fill your water bottles with the delicious, naturally slightly salty and carbonated spring water at a pump house near the site for T100 a bottle.
