Meaning 'Blue Goat' in Mongolian, this mountainous area (659 sq km) on the border with Khovd is a haven for snow leopards, argali sheep and ibex. This is the only strictly protected area in Bayan-Ölgii, making it one of the best places to spot wildlife. It is also the site of the new Spring Eagle Hunting Festival.
