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.

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.
