This lake fed from Khugshin Orkhon flows into Orkhon River. 14 kinds of fish such as a perch, a Luce and about 150 types of aquatic birds gather at Lake Ugii. Since scarce birds like a cape barren goose, a spoonbill, a Dalmatian pelican live around the lake; it has been involved in the international network to preserve birds of the goose and duck groups. Women are not allowed to enter and swim in the lake, since it is a sacred lake.
