Highlights and Information

Lake Khuvsgul Tour to Meet the Tsaatan and Reindeer

At Mongolia's northernmost edge, on the border with Russia, spreads a taiga ecosystem of forests dominated by larch and open valleys reminiscent of polar tundra. This is part of the Siberian permafrost ecosystem and is very different from the steppe grassland seen in most of Mongolia. Because of its isolated and hard-to-reach location, the most untouched, uninhabited land in all of Mongolia is here. Equally genuine is the culture of the reindeer herders, only a few hundred people. They live in tents and graze reindeer in the taiga forests and alpine meadows. It is a perfect chance to meet a real shaman, taste reindeer milk and ride a reindeer. The people of the taiga value true friendship and loyalty to the traditions of their ancestors. By touching this unique life and culture you will feel as if you came from another planet or teleported from another era.

  • Take a domestic flight to the depths of the northern forest (taiga) that stretches into Siberia
  • Enjoy the winter views of Lake Khuvsgul, Mongolia's deepest
  • Experience the life of the real nomads, the Tsaatan people who keep reindeer
  • Meet a real shaman while staying in a winter tent
Imagine visiting the reindeer people living deep in the taiga forest in the interior of northern Mongolia in winter. Reindeer are a precious resource: milk, cheese, meat, antlers, and fur for warm boots. Berries, herbs, nuts, mushrooms and more are also used for food and medicine. Imagine waking in a tipi with a single sheet of canvas stretched over a wooden frame, the stove fire warming the hut, boards as beds, and the outside temperature from minus 25 to minus 45 degrees Celsius. This is not a trip everyone can enjoy, but for adventure seekers and nature lovers it is just right.
