Sharga Uul

Sharga Uul rises above the grasslands of eastern Mongolia, a landmark visible across the open steppe. Local herders have long revered the mountain, associating its good pasture with the prosperity of their animals. The yellowish mountain stands apart from the surrounding plain, giving travellers a point of orientation in a landscape of broad horizons. Its name and that of nearby Javkhlant preserve the importance of these heights in local tradition.
