The mountain is located in Zavkhan Province and is the only peak in the Khangai range that is capped with a permanent glacier.

Since the introduction of Buddhism, traditional Mongolian beliefs have held that wrathful deities inhabit many of Mongolia's sacred mountains.

On 4 August 1963, MIAT Mongolian Airlines Avia 14 Super MONGOL-105 struck the side of the mountain while on route, killing all on board.

Rescuers found all 17 of them dead,[3] having received injuries from both fall damage and from frostbite.

However, it was still argued that some of the victims survived the fall and tried to send distress signals by using flashlights.
