Taikhar Rock is the most unique natural monument and green grassland combined zone in central west Mongolia. Taikhar Chuluu which translates to “Taikhar Rock,” is not only a natural wonder but also a cultural and historical landmark. Taikhar Rock is located 22 kilometres (14 miles) northeast from Tsetserleg, in the village of Ikh Tamir, south the Khoid Tamir River It’s a big 20-metres (66 feet) high granite rock, covered with 150 writings in many different languages and dating back from many different periods (runic, Sogd, Uyghur, Mongolian, Nangiad, Tibetan writings). Unfortunately, there are many graffiti on this rock and the old writings almost disappeared. The most famous legend bound to Taikhar rock tells that Bukhbilegt, a giant warrior, threw this rock on a snake that was coming out from the land, which explains its strange presence in this place.
