The chedi is called Chenteju and is located in the central part of these mountains (at the southern tip of Chenteju is the capital of the Ajmaku Öndörchaan), within the territory of the eastern ajmaku are the eastern extremities of Chenteju (forming the northwest part of the Ajmaku).

Mostly covered with forests (taiga), where the main tree is larch. Tajga Chenteju is a southern part of Siberian taiga where the taiga gradually passes into the forest (in the outskirts of Chenteju the southern slopes of mountains and valleys are steppe, northern slopes - forest). At the same time, higher parts of Chenteju (above 2000 m nm) are covered by mountain tundra. Most of Chenteju is in the permafrost area.
