Cultural Landscape of the Orkhon Valley

The Orkhon Valley is a valley spreading along both banks of the Orkhon River in central Mongolia, about 360 km west of Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. Its cultural landscape was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as an illustration of the nomadic traditions cultivated over more than 2,000 years.
For centuries the Orkhon Valley has been regarded as the seat of the kings of the steppe. It appears in history through the "Orkhon inscriptions" erected in this valley in the 8th century by the Turkic Bilge Khagan. The mountains forming the valley were revered as the axis of the world in Tengri worship, and among them Mount Otuken was especially venerated. In the Orkhon Valley remain the Orkhon inscriptions, the Khar Balgas ruins, the ruins of Chinggis Khaan's capital Karakorum, Erdene Zuu Monastery and more.
