Taikhar Rock /Mongolia/

Taikhar Chuluu - an enormous 20 m high rock located in the territory of Ikh Tamir soum of the Arkhangai province, 165 km from Kharakhorum or 145 km from Terkhiin Tsagaan Nuur (or lake). It is a convenient place for breaking the distance of 310 km between Kharakhorum and Terkhiin Tsagaan Nuur for an overnight stay in a tourist ger camp. It is also an interesting sightseeing object. A local legend says that once upon a time a baatar (a traditional hero) crushed a serpent by this imposing rock.
