A number of rare plants and animals are found in the park, including the elusive snow leopard and the Gobi camel.

Another major tourist destination is Yolyn Am, which is connected with Dalanzadgad by paved road and a mountain valley that contains a large ice field through most of the year.

The park is a haven for some endangered species like the argali sheep, snow leopard and Siberian ibex.

The eponymous mountains of the park are inhabited by the magnificent lammergeier, or bearded vulture.

The eastern range of the park supports the endangered Saker Falcon and has been designated an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International.
