The Mukhart River is one of Mongolia’s most visually striking natural wonders, located in Zavkhan Province near the Bor Khyarin Els sand dunes. This unique river springs from beneath the sands and curves like a serpent through the golden dunes before vanishing underground — a breathtaking sight blending water and desert.
