Lake Khuvsgul – One of the Most Beautiful Holiday Trips in Mongolia

Mongolia is one of the top tourist destinations in Asia. Its untouched scenic beauty and rich culture offer something truly unique. No matter which part of the country you wish to explore, you will find pristine lakes, exciting rugged terrain, glacier-clad mountain ranges, and the nomadic population every step of the way.

One of the top holiday destinations in Mongolia is Lake Khuvsgul, also known as Khövsgöl Nuur. It is a freshwater lake, the largest in Mongolia and second-largest by volume and area in the world. This beautiful lake is surrounded by several mountain ranges and its scenic beauty is difficult to describe in mere words. You have to see it to believe it. Since the area receives snowfall, the lake looks indescribably beautiful in December when the mountain peaks are covered in stark white snow.

An adventurous Lake Khövsgöl trek will give you the opportunity to explore the spectacular beauty of the lush countryside. You can also visit the reindeer herding families or do some fishing in the fresh water lake. During your holidays in Mongolia, you will be able to spot many migratory birds from Siberia.

Some of the tours in and around the Khuvsgul Lake area take you to other popular tourist attractions nearby and elsewhere in Mongolia. You might want to visit Uran Togoo Uul and Tulga natural monument and crater, Amarbayasgalant monastery, the hot springs of Tsenkher, and the Gobi desert among others.

The nomadic culture of Mongolia is also something that you must experience by meeting the nomads and living life their way for at least a couple of days. They live a different life than the fast paced life in the modern cities. Music lovers would appreciate listening to Khoomi singing, a unique style of throat singing practiced in Mongolia.

Trekking is one of the best ways to explore the hidden treasures in the land of Genghis Khan. You can also go for horse–treks. Some of them last for several days. If you enjoy camping, the tour operators will be able to make the provisions for you while you are on the Mongolia tour of your life.
