Called “Switzerland in Mongolia,” is the largest freshwater lake in Mongolia near the Russian border. The river that flows out of the lake flows into Lake Baikal in the north. The lake surrounded by coniferous trees is said to be the second most transparent lake in the world (more than 20m), and it reflects the blue of the sky and shines brilliantly. Flowers bloom on the carpet of grass in the summer, and the trees turn golden in the fall.
To visit this lake, take a small plane from Ulaanbaatar to the town of Murun. From this town, take a jeep to the north on a road without a road for about 3 hours. There are 96 tributaries from Lake Khuvsgul, but only one “Egiin” river joins the Selenge River and flows into Lake Baikal in Russia. Lake Khuvsgul is 136 kilometers long, 262 meters wide and 1645 meters above sea level.
All accommodations are located to the west of the lake, so you can enjoy the sunrise from the lake. At night, you can hear the sound of the lake and you will see a different side of the meadow from Mongolia.
I often do fishing, recreational fishing and boat tours around Lake Khuvsgul. Enjoy a spectacular birdwatching lodge along Lake Khuvsgul and watch migratory bird migration from Siberia.
