Darkhad Valley (Darkhad Depression / Shishged Valley)

Darkhad Valley (also referenced as the Darkhad Depression or, in some secondary usage, Shishged Valley) is a large high‑altitude valley in northwestern Khövsgöl Province, Mongolia. The geographic depression lies between the Ulaan Taiga and Khoridol Saridag mountain ranges, with an altitude of about 1,600 m and dimensions reported as roughly 160 km long by 40 km wide, covering approximately 4,270 km2. The only specific modern political event noted in the source is that the area was transferred from the People's Republic of Tannu Tuva to the Mongolian People's Republic in 1925 as part of a Soviet concession. The supplied source is primarily geographic and political-historical. It does not provide information about shamanic sites, hauntings, omens, named spirits, witness accounts, or other folkloric or paranormal material. Therefore no supernatural phenomena, entities, or investigations are documented in the available reference. Any further treatment of shamanic or paranormal associations would require additional ethnographic or folkloric sources beyond the provided material.
