a closed freshwater lake in the Ubsunur Basin, on the border of the USSR and the Mongolian People’s Republic.

The shores are low-lying and sandy. Sand advances onto the lake from the northwest, forming large deposits in the southwestern part of the lake. Fish inhabiting the lake include the osman.
