The area covers 52110 ha. The Burhan Buudai mountain is included in the mountain meadows and the subdivision of mountainous steppe within the bunches of rising Altaic ranges and the peak is 3765 m high eternally frozen top. In this beautiful branch of Mongol-Altaic ranges, interesting creatures and winged-creatures like wild-sheep, ibex, snowleopard, snow-cock, bearded vulture, condor, there are plenty of plants and medicinal herbs like vansemberuu, roseroot, bourtree, Aconitum Kuznezoffii, Saussurea involucrata and fruits and berries like sea-buckthorn and gooseberry. The Burhan Buudai mountain reveals variety of naturally sculptured and peculiar formed tops such as Hyar Nuuriin Thousand Tombs, Uyertiin White Gate.
