edit
]
The aimag is surrounded by
Russia
(
Buryatia
) in the north, the aimags
Khovsgol
in the northwest,
Arkhangai
in the southwest,
Ovorkhangai
in the south,
Tov
in the southeast, and
Selenge
in the northeast. The small
Orkhon Aimag
forms an enclave at the border to Selenge.
The north of the aimag is characterized by alpine forests, gradually blending in the arid steppe plains of the central Mongolian highland. The main rivers are the
Orkhon
and the
Selenge
, first of which enter the aimag from Ovorkhangai while the second is enters from Khovsgol Province. As a result, southern and central Bulgan is one of Mongolia's few arable regions.
