What our travelers think about their stay

It may well be due to its depth, but you'll never see the same colour of blue twice, when looking at Lake Khövsgöl's waters! It merits its nickname - the 'Blue Pearl'! It's a sight for sore eyes.

My suggestion

As the biggest lake in Mongolia, it's also a favourite with Mongolian visitors and is well worth the detour. Avoid summer, if you want a bit of peace and quiet. Even better - go during the winter Ice Festival.

My suggestion

If you find you're dying to see trees again after crossing the steppes and deserts of Mongolia, the wooded shores and hills of Lake Khövsgöl will provide exactly what you need.
