Nuhu Daban Pass - the name of the place literally means Gate Pass. It is located near the border with Mongolia. It is a rock with a large, about 4 meters in diameter, through hole, under the through hole there is a small grotto. When leaving for the war, the Okinawans took pebbles with them from here, which served as amulets.

Mount Munku-Sardyk Munku is from the Buryat word Munhe — eternal, eternal, eternal. Sardyk — khardag (sardag) is a char. Thus, Munhe Khardag can be translated as \"eternal char\"; sometimes Buryats say Munhe Sagaan Khardag — \"eternal white char\", since its top is clothed with eternal ice and snow.
