The magma flew down the Orkhon Valley creating thick layers of volcanic rock which stretched out for several kilometers. Mongolia’s longest river, with length of 1124 kilometers,The Orkhon river passes through these layers creating the gorge of the waterfall today. It is 22m deep and 10m wide, and dotted with pine trees. The water doesn’t run all year and will only start to flow after the first strong summer rain.
