Taikhar Chuluu (Rock Taikhar) A legendary, unique rock formation well known and respected by Mongolians. This 18 meter high granite rock sits by itself on the banks of Ih Tamir river, with no other formations or rocks nearby. The legend has it that a giant monster snake once surfaced in the area, killing and terrorizing the good people of the region. A good hearted, champion wrestler Bukhbilegt carried this big rock from Mt. Bulgan and placed it shut on the well where the snake was resting, bringing peace to the people.
