Hudriin Davaa

The campsite is located near an old iron mine, close to the Khudriin (Hudriin; Hiidiin) Davaa Gorge, where the tranquil waters of the Tuul (Tula; Tola gol) River meander through the rugged terrain. To the southeast stands the majestic Hiidiin Sardag peak, which rises to 2665 meters above sea level and forms part of the Khentii Ridge. This ridge is one of the main sources of the Tula River, which flows downstream through the capital of Ulaan Baataar.

Teleti gorge West

The Teleti Gorge, in the upper part of the Jeti Oguz valley, is a quiet and scenic valley of the Teskey Ala-Too range. It begins in dense fir-tree forests, where tall spruces shade the slopes and the air carries the fresh scent of resin and damp earth. The Teleti River flows along the valley floor, and its constant murmur accompanies hikers along the trail. In several places, small waterfalls descend from the rocky slopes, especially during the snowmelt season.
