Buyant Gol (Буянт гол) is a wide river corridor outside Khovd framed by steppe and distant Altai foothills—great for reflections, river textures, livestock crossings and nomadic camps. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm side light and long shadows. Accessible by dirt road from Khovd (4x4 helpful in wet season); no formal entry or fees. Weekdays and early mornings are quiet. Respect local herders and ask before photographing people or yurts.
