Ögii Nuur

Mongolia / Bulgan /

On the road between Ulaanbaatar and Tsetserleg, near the border with Bulgan Aimag, the Ögii Nuur (Ugii Nuur) is a wonderful place for birdlife - cranes and ducks, to name just a few species, migrate to the area around late April. Ugii lake (Ogii lake) is also renowned for its fishing. Ugii lake is a lake, 1, 387 meters above sea level in Ugii Nuur Sium in Arkhangai Aimag. It covers 25 square kilometers, and is rich in Perch and Pike. The catch possible from the lake of Ugii Nuur is 50 tons a year. Swan Goose, White Spoonbill and Dalmatian Pelican have been recorded.
The lake and Khar Balgas ruins can only be reached from the direct road linking Tsetserleg with Ulaanbaatar. The lake makes a nice overnight break between Ulaanbaatar and Tsetserleg.
