The earth opens up in the middle of the flat steppe, about 70 km-distance from Dariganga and around 10 km north of the Shiliyn Bogd mountain: Here is the largest lava cave in Mongolia, one of the most beautiful. It is difficult to find without local knowledge. It is said that the hero Toroi Bandi, who fought for the rights of the poor during the Manchu rule, hid there. The entrance to the 200-meter-long basalt cave, which is often frozen into August, is just an inconspicuous hole in the ground through which you have to crawl into a narrow tunnel, which is only a little over a meter high during the first three meters.
Before you get into the first of the seven cave chambers and can look forward to ten meters of ceiling height. The largest interior is an impressive 50 meters wide and 30 meters high. Frozen blue cloths hang around the volcanic rock between the bizarrely shaped rock formations, which represent a beautiful photo motif. If the light falls on the walls, the colors of a rainbow shimmer. You should have a good flashlight or headlamp with spare batteries. Even in summer, you have to dress very warmly for a visit inside, because it is always freezing cold.
