Tunkin Mountain Ridge

Tunkin Golts is a mountain range separating Buryatia and the Irkutsk region. This natural object is one of the largest, because its length is about 100 km., and the ridge peaks exceed 3000 meters.

Tunkin Golts gained popularity not only among climbers, but also among lovers of recreation in the wilderness. At the foot of the ridge there are several mountain rivers, on the coast of which visitors often rest.

To the right of the ridge is the Tunkin Valley, which received its name from the Mongolian tribes. The slopes of the ridge are completely covered with coniferous trees, such as cedar, pine and spruce. You can get to the place by driving to the Slyudyanka railway station and then by bus or car to Arshan or Nilovka.
