About
Province du nord de la Mongolie bordant la Russie, connue pour ses vastes steppes, la rivière Selenge et sa culture traditionnelle d'élevage nomade.
Selenge Province lies in the north of Mongolia, along the border with Russia. It is a landscape of wide steppe grassland, where the sky often seems to fill the view, and of the Selenge River, which gives the province its name and much of its character.
What the province offers
- Open steppe. The vast grasslands make the province well suited to slow travel, long walks and unhurried views across the horizon.
- The Selenge River. The river runs through the province and shapes its scenery and daily life along its banks.
- Nomadic herding culture. Traditional herding remains central here, and visitors can see something of how pastoral life is organised across the seasons.
Is it a good trip for you?
Selenge suits travellers who want wide landscapes and a quieter pace rather than dense sights. It is best approached as a destination in its own right, with time to take in the steppe and the river. Those interested in Mongolia's nomadic traditions will find the province a fitting place to understand how herding communities live close to the land.
