Bogdkhan Uul Strictly Protected Area
Bogdkhan Uul Strictly Protected Area
May 19, 2024

  The Bogdkhan Uul is said to be the world’s oldest nature reserve. Established in 1778, the park was guarded by 2000 club-wielding lamas. Animal poachers were hauled away in chains, beaten within an inch of their lives, and locked inside coffin-like jail cells. These days you can enjoy some terrific hiking and horse-riding trails. Wildlife is more difficult to spot than it used to be, but you still stand a chance of seeing red deer.
