The road to the summit is unpaved. SUV required. It’s a long, steep and challenging road to the summit. Adverse weather conditions are common. Drive at moderate speed. You’re not on a race.

The panoramic views from the pass are stunning. The pass is 40.6 km (25.22 miles) long, running north-south from Uliastai, also spelled Uliyasutai or Oulia-Sontai, one of Mongolia’s oldest cities, founded by the Manchus to Tsagaankhairkhan. The pass sits near Gantsiin Davaa.
