Bayan-Olgii Province is a remote and sparsely populated area of Mongolia. It is home to the ancient Kazakh people, who have preserved their culture and customs for centuries. The province has some of the most stunning landscapes in the world, with rolling grasslands, snow-capped mountains, picturesque lakes, and an abundance of wildlife such as wild horses and marmots.

Visitors should check out the Eagle Festival in Olgii - a traditional hunting event where eagles are trained to hunt foxes! There are also great opportunities for hiking up nearby mountains like Tavan Bogd or Khuiten Uul to see incredible views. For those interested in history and archeology, visit Altai Petroglyph Complex - it has many stone carvings dating back thousands of years that tell stories of nomadic tribal life.
