It is a 10-meter-wide waterfall that falls from a height of more than 20 meters and is formed in the Ulaan River, which flows into the western part of the Orkhon River, 132 kilometers from Kharkhorin soum, and 30 km from the nearest town Bat-Ulziit of Uvurkhangai province.

The last 30 km to the waterfall is bumpy and muddy with several freshwater streams and small rivers crossings. So, calculate your timing well and be ready for the feel of long driving while driving not far. During the Quaternary period, a volcano erupted at the head of the Tsagaan Azarga River, which sourced from the Khangai mountain range, and its hot molten material flowed down the Orkhon valley, forming a layer of magmatic stone several tons of kilometers thick. The Orkhon river sawed through the stone pavement and created the current canyon. To the northwest of the waterfall, there is a waterfall called Baga Waterfall. The waterfall falls from 24 m lava cliffs when the Ulaan River confluence the Orkhon River. Therefore, the waterfall is called differently such as Ulaantsutgalan or Orkhon Waterfall or Orkhonii Khurkheree.  The Ulaan Tsutgalan waterfall is one of the picturesque sights in the historically significant Orkhon River Valley, which requires bumpy driving through the lava covered scenic valley full of nomads and their animals.
