The Khentei-Daur Highlands (Russian: Хэнтэй-Даурское нагорье), also known as Khentei-Chikoy Highlands (Хэнтэ́й-Чико́йское наго́рье)[1] are a mountainous area in the Zabaykalsky Krai, Far Eastern Federal District, Russia.
Owing to a number of factors —such as tectonic faults, rock fissuring, and density of river networks— the Khentei-Daur Highlands are the second region in the Transbaikal area regarding the formation and occurrence of aufeis (naleds) sheets.[2]
