Tamir is a mid size River. It begins in the Archangai mountains and runs northeast for ~ 280km where it empties into the Orkhon river. Remarkably, being a medium size river, some parts of Tamir reach a width of 70m and a depth up to 2m (great for fishing!).
Chuluut is a mid size River. It begins in Khangai Mountains and flows north for ~ 415km where it confluences with Ider River and then both discharge their waters into the Selenge River. There is a section (~ 100km) of Chuluut River, where it cuts through a canyon formed by volcanic rocks, providing great views and fishing experience.

Ulaanbaatar the City Comments:
Local flights in Mongolia, in most cases, are conducted by Russian made planes AN-24. It is a reliable plane, but loud, and often, when boarded by locals with their pets, might look very different from what you use to at home.
When packing, keep in mind that most domestic flights in Mongolia have limits for luggage weight depending on the type of the plane: AN-24 (10kg/22 pounds).
Be prepared for "offroading" experience in the country.
