Khentii range

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Khentii range is a mountain range in the Khentii province, Mongolia. It overlaps with the Khan Khentii Strict Protected Area and includes Mongolias "sacred mountain," Burhan Haldun. The range forms the watershed between the Arctic Ocean (via Lake Baikal) and the Pacific Ocean basins.

Rivers rising in the range include Onon River and the Kherülen river. The area is associated with the origin of Genghis Khan.
