Lake Khövsgöl, often called the “Blue Pearl of Mongolia,” is one of the most beautiful natural destinations in the country. The lake is surrounded by forested mountains and pristine wilderness. It holds nearly 70% of Mongolia’s fresh water. The lake offers breathtaking scenery in every season. This northern region is also home to the Tsaatan (Reindeer People). They are a small indigenous community living in the remote taiga forests near the Siberian border. They keep a unique nomadic lifestyle based on reindeer herding and deep spiritual traditions connected to nature. Visitors can enjoy boat trips on the lake. They can go hiking through the taiga forests and meet reindeer herders. Visitors can also try horseback riding and experience authentic nomadic culture in one of Mongolia’s most untouched landscapes.
