Khuvsgul Lake
The ‘Dark Blue Pearl of Mongolia’ is one of the deepest lakes in the world and makes up over one percent of the world’s fresh water. It is also one of the most spectacular places in Mongolia, with high mountains peaks, lush lakeside meadows, taiga and forest steppe in the northernmost region of the country.
Minority ethnic groups such as the Buryat, Darkhat and Tsataan people live in the area, lending a unique cultural diversity to the region and its towns. The lake and surrounds are home to nine species of fish and 68 species of mammals, which makes this area a perfect destination for fishermen and nature lovers.
Yaks and horses graze in the alpine meadows, geese and stork make their homes by the water, and bear, sable and moose roam in the mountains. The region of Huvsgul Lake offers activities ranging from the sedate to the most adventurous, such as kayaking, hiking, fishing, horse riding and simply relaxing by the pristine shores of one of the most beautiful alpine lakes in the world.
