Discover the Amazing Beauty of Tsagaan Suvarga
Tsagaan Suvarga, also called the White Stupa, is one of Mongolia’s most stunning natural spots. You’ll find it in Dundgobi Province, about 419 km southwest of Ulaanbaatar. This colorful cliff isn’t just pretty to look at—it’s packed with history that goes back over 10 million years.
A Place Full of Stories
As soon as you arrive and start walking around Tsagaan Suvarga, you’ll notice it feels like you’re stepping into a giant storybook. Each layer of rock has something to say. These layers show how time, wind, and water have shaped the land into what we see today.
How Tsagaan Suvarga Was Made
Millions of years ago, a big sea covered this whole area. It filled the Khevtee and Bosoo valleys. After a long time, the sea dried up. That’s when nature started to shape what we now call Tsagaan Suvarga.
Slowly, over thousands of years, wind and rain wore down the cliffs. Bit by bit, they created the bright and bold cliffs that attract travelers from all over. Today, Tsagaan Suvarga stretches 400 meters long and stands 200 meters tall. The cliffs drop straight down, making the view even more dramatic. As you get closer, you’ll see layers of rock in colors like white, orange, purple, and red.
From far away, the cliffs look like a giant stupa or even the remains of an ancient city. The view is truly one-of-a-kind.
A Beautiful View After Rain
When it rains, Tsagaan Suvarga becomes even more stunning. The colors become brighter. The rocks shine, and it almost looks like a huge waterfall is flowing down the cliffs. It’s a moment you won’t forget.
