The Onon Gol drains northward across the Russian border and into Lake Baikal; the Mongolian portion of the Selenge valley is in the north-central portion of the country. Mongolia’s other major rivers, the Onon and the Kerulen, run latitudinally across the eastern part of the country.

Onon River, a river of narrow bed and rushing water, a river of silver, glinting and flowing, is also the river where Genghis Khan enjoyed his childhood. Legend says Mongolia gets its name from Onon River because the river symbolizes Mongolian people’s spirit just like the great Genghis Khan.

The arriving pier at the other side of the river was destroyed, we'd to get of into the shallow depth water of the river finding a way to the track at the river bank.

Onon gol is a river in Mongolia and Russia of length 818 km and watershed 94,010 sq. km. It originates at the Eastern slope of the Kente Mountain (Khentii Mountain).
