National Park and surrounded forested Mountains. The lake is involved with Chinggis Khan’s history, beginning in 1185, Temujin directed a military campaign to unite the Mongolian people, which at the time were divided into more than 80 ethnic clans. In 1189 at 'Black Heart Blue Lake' he was chosen by his peers to become king of all Mongols and was given the title "Chinggis (Genghis) Khaan."
Except for the Khentiin Nuruu Mountain Range and some forests surrounding it, eastern Mongolia is pure steppe plain. There is some stunning scenery, and it is one of the world's last great undisturbed grasslands. The most famous and plainest steppe in the country is the far eastern part named Menengyn Tal /Menen steppe/.
The area is almost uninhabited by people, but home to some of the largest herds of gazelle left on earth. Also, there is one of the world's last undisturbed grasslands, named as the ‘strictly protected areas' of Mongol Daguur, Dornod Mongolyn Tal Steppe and Nomrog Region
