Hooves and Antlers in the Western Taiga
About this place
Nestled deep within Mongolia’s northern wilderness, Baruun Taiga in Tsagaannuur, Khuvsgul, is a remote and breathtaking land where snow-capped peaks, evergreen forests, and crystal-clear rivers meet. This pristine region is home to the Tsaatan, one of the world’s last reindeer-herding communities, whose way of life has been preserved for generations in harmony with nature. Visitors to Baruun Taiga will discover an untouched world of pure air, star-filled skies, and the quiet magic of the taiga — a place where time slows down and traditions endure.
