Key attractions include Erdene Zuu Monastery, ancient Turkic memorials, and the Tuvkhun Monastery. Accessibility can be challenging due to rough roads, making a 4x4 vehicle highly recommended. While solo travel is possible for experienced adventurers, guided tours are advisable for logistical support and deeper cultural understanding. Seasonal restrictions apply, with the best time to visit being during the warmer months (May-September).
