Khovsgol Lake National Park

One Day Independent Travel to Khovsgol Lake

Tour Code: TMN209
In Mongolia, when it comes to Khovsgol Lake, everyone knows it. It is like a huge and spotless bright pearl embedded in Mongolia's vast grassland. Khovsgol Lake is close to the border between Mongolia and Russia, with a total water area of 2760 square kilometers. A total of 96 rivers of all sizes flow into the lake, with a lake water reserve of 380 billion cubic meters. It is an important fresh water reserve in Mongolia. The lake water flows into the famous Baikal Lake in Russia through Selenge River, a large river in Mongolia.

The scenery throughout the year is very beautiful. From June 10 to 20, fennel fish in Khovsgol Lake migrate to the shallow stream in groups, which is very spectacular, and wild flowers are in full bloom at this time. In mid and late September, the autumn scenery of mountain coniferous forest is intoxicating. And the Ice Festival marked by Mongolia is held here in winter.

► The Transportation: 
• If you transit from Ulaanbaatar, then long distance bus is available, the bus station is in the western part of the city. We suggest you consult your hotel for details, and it takes about 10 hours. You can hire a car with other travelers in your hotel, your hotel can help with this, too. The private car takes about 8 hours.  

Another ways is to take a flight to Murun, and then take car there.

• You can take flight to Murun directly without a stop in Ulaanbaatar. Then you can hire a private car for three hours to get to the lake, and en route, visit ancient relics Deer Stone.

► Where to stay: 
• Family Cabin - Great holiday at Grand Tour Camp, it located along the lake and 4 beds are available in one room. The host Uransuren is very nice. 
• Family Ger - Mongol Ujin Camp, one queen size bed and two one-meter beds are available in one room. Stay here, you can experience the typical nomadic family lifestyle.
• Barbaris Camp, Barbaris camp, Turt, 670700, Khovsgol, Mongolia.
• Camp Hirvesteg on the western coast of Lake is also adorable, it is a great place to stay if you visit the lake area.

If you can not decide where to stay, then you can choose your favorite lodge when you are there, of course, it is only possible in low season.

All camps and hostels offer meals for their guests and they also offer various activities, such as horsing riding at the price of USD10 per hour, and the boat riding, the price is about USD30 per person sharing by 10 travelers. Fishing and hiking can not be missed if you are here.

We highly recommend a full day hiking in the forest to the Tsagaannuur reindeer herders areas to see reindeer and the local reindeer families with the help of a local guide. Where you can see local plants and flowers on the way, or enjoy the lake from a different view.

Many lodges are facing the lake area, in the evening, the most comfortable thing is to lie in bed and enjoy the light of the lake, a cup of coffee may grace the whole night.
