Geography
The aimag borders Russia (Zabaykalsky Krai) to the north. The neighbouring aimags are Selenge to the northwest, Töv to the west, Govisümber to the southwest, Dornogovi to the south, Sükhbaatar to the southeast, and Dornod to the east. The border with Töv is divided by the city of Baganuur, an administrative exclave of Ulaanbaatar.
The northwest of the aimag is covered by the eastern part of the Khentii Mountains; towards the southeast, the landscape changes into the eastern Mongolian steppe plains. The mountain Burkhan Khaldun in the Khan Khentii Strictly Protected Area is considered sacred and assumed to be the birthplace of Genghis Khan.
The Kherlen River originates South of the Burkhan Khaldun; the river then crosses the south of the aimag in the eastern direction after a detour through Töv. A little further east is the spring of the Onon River. The Onon-Balj National Park is located in the northeast of the aimag.
