Highlights and Information

Lake Khovsgol(Lake Khuvsgul, the Tsaatan people who keep reindeer, yaks, horse riding experience)

Lake Khuvsgul lies in northwestern Mongolia at the foot of the Eastern Sayan Mountains, near the Russian border. At an elevation of 1,645 meters above sea level, it is long from north to south, 136 km long, 36.5 km wide, with a maximum depth of 262 meters. Lake Khuvsgul, close to the Russian border, is surrounded by coniferous forest, and its natural scenery is like that of Switzerland in the European Alps or the forests of Northern Europe. It is the second largest lake in Mongolia and the deepest. Near Lake Khuvsgul live the reindeer-herding "Tsaatan". Tsaatan means "people who have reindeer". Their dwellings are portable but, unlike the "ger", are conical. The river flowing out of the lake continues to Lake Baikal in Russia. You can enjoy plant observation, trekking, horse riding, fishing and more.

South Gobi(Khongor Sand Dunes, Yolyn Am, Bayanzag, camel riding experience, visit a ger)
Mongolia, a country with great nature continuing unbroken from ancient times. Nature as far as the eye can see. Camel herding is the most commonly seen here. Many dinosaur fossils have also been excavated here, stirring a romance of the ancient past. This course lets you enjoy moving scenery at this great dune, said to be No. 1 in Mongolia. Khongor Sand Dunes (KHONGOR ELS) are among the largest dunes in Mongolia. We set out for the Khongor Sand Dunes, the largest in the South Gobi, with a total length of 180 km and a maximum width of 15 km.
