Detailed Tours Description

Day 1: Moron (Murun) City

By plane from Ulanbator we will reach Moron, capital city of Hovsgol province. Depending on the arrival time we will stay here for the night or we will go on driving North. On the way we will visit the Uushig Deer Stone complex.

Day 2: Khuvsgul Lake

After an intensive driving on a path climbing up to the north we will at last reach the Mongolian blue pearl, the Hovsgol Lake. It is a huge 2.760 square km alpine lake (130 km in length and 40 km in width), surrounded by mountain chains of more than 2.000 meters high, 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. The lake contains about 1.5% of the world's fresh water (excluding water contained in the icecaps). The lake and rivers are full of fish. Around a dozen species of fish inhabit the lake and rivers. The most well known are the sturgeon, grayling, lennok, salmon, taimon, etc.

Day 3: Extra day at Khovsgol Lake

We will spend a full day exploring the lakeshore and surrounding mountains. For those interested they will have the possibility to go horseback riding, visit Mongolian families, go hiking, go fishing, etc. Please bring your own rod and tackle, or buy it in Ulaanbaatar.

Day 4: Flight back to Ulan bator

We will drive back to Moron for our flight back to Ulan Bator. If we have an early flight, we will leave Huvsgol Lake on day 8.
