Getting There:
Daily rides to Durgun soum (Дөргөн) can also be found in front of Hovd City's Black Market, usually directly across from the market's main entrance. The vehicles will probably not have signs indicating their destination, so you will need to ask around. When asking, the soum's name is pronounced: Der-gun. The ride to Durgun takes you north out of Hovd City on the paved road, through Buyant soum's center, and within sight of Myangad soum's center. The ride ends on the northern shores of Khar Us Nuur.
