Taikhar Rock

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

Check out this amazing drone video of a famous rock in Mongolia.  Taikhar Rock is situated in the Arkhangai, one of the country's 21 provinces (also known as aimags), in the west-central part of this Northeast Asian country.  The rock overlooks the Khoid Tamir River, an important waterway in western Mongolia.  Standing about 20 meters high (around 65 ft.), the rock is covered in writing (essentially very old graffiti) in 20 different languages.  The rock is closely tied to a local legend about a giant snake.

It is situated 22km from Tsetserleg on a bank of Khoid Tamir River in Ikhtamir Soum, Arkhangai Aimag. Taikhar Chuluu is 18m-high cliff of granite. This cliff was formed by separating from the river bank due to millions of years’ continual flow of Khoid Tamir River through granite cape on its northern bank. Over 150 inscriptions in various scripts including Turkic, Uyghur, Mongolian, Tibetan, Manchu and Chinese were engraved on the cliff, but most of them seem to have barely appeared as time passes. About 70 of them are in Mongolian script and the 15th-17th century’s
