Most of Central Mongolian territory is predominated by Khangai Mountain Range, the most extensive from the three major ranges and other smaller ranges. This is the most vegetated part of the country and encompasses several natural zones including mountain and mountain steppe zone, and Siberian taiga forest. Fertile soil and numerous rivers, streams and lakes support a variety of plants and the area is habitat to a huge array of animal species including, Hangai Argali, Elk, Siberian roe deer, Wolf, fox and so on. The landscape of Khangai Mountain Range is very different from the Altai Mountains. While high rocky cliffs, and deep basins are dominant in both Mongol Altai and Gobi Altai, Khangai Range is featured by broad, warped dome-shaped mountains covered with grass and trees. Khangai is the water source for many rivers including the largest Mongolian rivers Selenge, Orkhon, Ider, Zavkhan and Terh rivers as well as lakes numerous smaller lakes including Terhiin Tsagaan Nuur lake, Ugii Nuur Lake (Arkhangai aimag), Naiman Nuur Lake (Uvurkhangai aimag), Khar Nuur and Telmen lakes (Zavkhan aimag).

Though large part of Forest Region, of which you can read in the following part, belongs to Khangai Area, we have classified the whole area into two separate parts – Khagai and Forest regions.

Though Khangai Mountain is a large area, its premier game Khangai Argali can be hunted in few areas along the southern tip of the mountain range.
