Davst ({{langx|mn|Давст}}, salty) is a sum (district){{cn|date=August 2024}} of Uvs Province in western Mongolia, bordering Russia in the north.{{cite web | url=https://www.google.com/maps/place//@50.612778,92.402222,12z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0!5m1!1e4?hl=en | title=Google Maps }}

The reason it is called "salty" is that there is the biggest natural salt rock deposit in the country. The sum occupies the northern tip of Uvs Nuur which is 5 times saltier than the ocean.
