Uvurkhangai aimag is located in the central part of Mongolia. The Khangai mountain stretches in the North-West, and the Altai mountain towers in the south-west. The steppe lies in the middle of the territory. The Gobi desert is located in the South.
 

Arwaiheer is the capital of Övörkhangai Aimag (province). A nondescript but friendly aimag capital, Arvaikheer is of little interest except as a place to eat and rest, refuel the jeep or arrange onward public transport to places further west. Arvaikheer has the requisite hotel, bar, cinema, school and administrative building, and the monastery and museum are worth a look.

PLACES TO VISITED.
  • Gandan Muntsaglan monastery. This comparatively large monastery, about 300m north of the town square, contains a fine collection of scroll paintings (thangka), including one depicting the original monastery, which was destroyed in 1937. The current monastery was opened in 1991, and now has about 50 monks in residence. Visitors are welcome. To the left of the temple is a small shop selling religious items.
     
  • Museums. Since Ovorkhangai lies partly in the forested Khangai region and the Gobi Desert, the Aimag Museum boasts a better than-average selection of stuffed mountain and desert animals. There are also some fossils and arrows, local artwork and leftovers from Karakorum. Upstairs are intricate carvings.
    Just around the corner is the Zanabazar Memorial Museum, which has a collection of religious artwork connected to the master sculptor.
