Zavkhan (Mongolian: Завхан) is one of the 21 aimags (provinces) of Mongolia, located in the west of the country. Its capital is Uliastai. The aimag is named after the Zavkhan river.

[edit] Population

The Zavkhan aimag population growth stopped in 1994, then migration out of the aimag (approx. 40,000 in 1995-2005) reduced its population to the end of 1979 level.
