Beginning of the afternoon we will reach the wranglers' family. After relaxing in the family we will meet our Mongolian horses. Being 1.40 meter high they are often taken by Europeans as ponies.

Today we will pack our horses, leave our vehicles behind and depart for the totally remote region of the Tsagaan People and the reindeer.

The depression is surrounded by several high mountain peaks of almost 3000 meters and is home to over 150 alpine lakes. Originally it was formed as a glacial lake. We will successively pass Toom village, Oliin Davaa Pass, Ulaan-Uul village to arrive finally at Soyo village. (Tented Camp, B, L, D) 10th day

Around a dozen species of fish inhabit the lake and rivers. The most well known are the sturgeon, grayling, lennok, salmon, taimon, etc. As our horsemen are fishing fans, you will have many opportunities to go fishing.

Hovsgol Lake is a huge 2760 square km alpine lake (130 km in length and 30 km in width), surrounded by mountain chains, thick pine forests and lush meadow with grazing yaks and horses. More than 100 small rivers and streams feed the lake with crystal clear water. Water exits the lake through only one river, the Egiin, whose waters eventually reach the Baikal Lake.
