Bagakhangai

Eastern Asia

Bagakhangai is one of the nine districts, called düüreg in Mongolian, that make up the municipality of Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. Its name means a small wooded area. The district is an exclave: it covers 140 square kilometres southeast of the main part of the capital and is surrounded by Töv Province. It began as the home of a Soviet military air base, and it was established as a district of Ulaanbaatar in 1989. Administratively it is divided into two khoroos, or subdistricts, which together contain six khesegs, three to each khoroo. A paved road of about 90 kilometres connects the district to the main part of Ulaanbaatar.
