Bagakhangai (Mongolian: Багахангай, small wooded area) is one of nine düüregs (districts) of the Mongolian capital of Ulaanbaatar.[1][2] Bagakhangai is an exclave of 140 square kilometres (54 sq mi) southeast of the main part of the capital surrounded by Töv Province. It was established as the home of a Soviet military air base. It is subdivided into two khoroos (subdistricts), #1 (Mongolian: Нэгдүгээр) khoroo and #2 (Mongolian: Хоёрдугаар) khoroo.
