west, many miss some of the best parts of Övörkhangai, including the stunning Naiman
Nuur area, the impressive Orkhon Khürkhree Falls and the mountain-top monastery,
Tövkhön Khiid. The southern part of the aimag, past Arvaikheer, is less interesting desert

A nondescript but friendly aimag capital, Arvaikheer is mainly used by travellers as a
place to eat and rest, refuel the jeep or arrange onward public transport.
Note, there is no need to go to Arvaikheer if you only want to visit Kharkhorin and
northern Övörkhangai, as a paved road runs to Kharkhorin from Ulaanbaatar.
