'''Arkhangai''' ({{lang-mn|Архангай}}, ''Arhangai''; ''the rear of the Khangai'') is one of the 21 [[aimags of Mongolia]].
It is located slightly west of the country's center, on the northern slopes of the [[Khangai Mountains]].

== Geography ==
The Arkhangai aimag is located in the interior of the country and borders to the following other aimags: [[Bulgan Province|Bulgan]] (north east), [[Övörkhangai Province|Övörkhangai]] (south east), [[Bayankhongor Province|Bayankhongor]] (south), [[Zavkhan Province|Zavkhan]] (west), and [[Khövsgöl Province|Khövsgöl]] (north west).

The highest point is [[Kharlagtai Peak]] at 3,529 m (11,578&nbsp;ft), while the lowest point is the area on the confluence of the [[Orkhon River|Orkhon]] and [[Tamir River|Tamir]] rivers at 1,290 m (4,232&nbsp;ft). The most well-known mountain is the extinct volcano [[Khorgo]], which is part of the [[Khorgo-Terkhiin Tsagaan Nuur National Park]].

=== Bodies of water ===
The rivers [[Chuluut River|Chuluut]], [[Khanui]], and [[Tamir River|Tamir]] have their origins in the valleys of the Khangai Mountains. Together with some smaller tributaries they all belong to the watershed of the [[Selenga|Selenge]]. The [[Orkhon River|Orkhon]] also traverses the eastern end of the aimag for a short stretch.

The lake [[Terkhiin Tsagaan Nuur]] is located in the west. According to a legend it was created when a giant took a large rock and threw it away. Looking back he saw a white surface and exclaimed in surprise, "Look, a white lake!" The exclamation has become the name of the lake. The rock ended up farther to the east and is called [[Taikhar Chuluu]]. The small lake [[Ögii Lake|Ögii Nuur]] is located in the eastern part of the aimag in the [[Sums of Mongolia|Sum]] of the same name.

== History ==
After the [[Outer Mongolian Revolution of 1921|People’s Revolution]] won in 1921 throughout Mongolia reforms in
administrative unit were made and the ''Tsetserleg Mandal Uul'' aimag was
established on the foundation of [[Sain Noyon Khan]] aimag.
Arkhangai aimag was formed from parts of the ''Tsetserleg Mandal Uul'' aimag in 1931. At that time, the aimag had 35 sums, 65,333 inhabitants in 22,285 households, and 1,800,000 head of livestock. The aimag center Tsetserleg was established at the site of the [[Zaya Khüree]] monastery, which had been first founded in 1586.

== Population ==

Arkhangai covers 55,313.82&nbsp;km² (21,357 sq mi), and had 89,282 citizens in Dec.31 2008,<ref>[http://www.statis.mn/portal/content_files/comppmedia/cdoc0x172.doc Arkhangai Aimag 2008 December Statistical Report]{{dead link|date=October 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> in Dec. 31 2009 89,331<ref name="Stat2009"/> who live in 19 sums and 99 bags (subdistricts)

== Transportation ==
There are currently no flights to Tsetserleg's airport. The Post Bus travels daily to Tsetserleg through Kharkhorin, leaving from Dragon Center in Ulaanbaatar at 8:00 am. The price of a ticket is around 20,000 MNT. Small microbuses also travel daily to Tsetserleg, but are much less reliable.
