Lake Khuvsgul

Located in the north part of Mongolia, Lake Khuvsgul is the deepest lake (up to 262 m/ 860 feet) in Central Asia, and one of the largest sources of fresh water – containing between 1 and 2 % of the world’s fresh water. Lake Khuvsgul is known as the "Blue Pearl of Mongolia", because of its crystal blue water. It is full of fish, such as lennok and sturgeon, and the area is home to argali sheep, ibex, bear and moose, as well as over 200 species of birds. The region also hosts three separate, unique peoples: Darkhad Mongols, Buryats and Tsaatan. Spectacular views overlooking Lake Khuvsgul await you.
