Known as the “dark blue pearl” of Mongolia, lake Huvsgul is one of the country’s largest lakes and it features one of the most spectacular areas of the country. Bordered to the north by Sayan Mountain and to the west by the Horidol Saridag Range, the lake is 136 km long and 36 km wide stretching from north to south.

Huvsgul is the 14th largest freshwater lake in the world by volume and its 380 cubic km of water make up over 1% of the world’s fresh water. The lake is elevated at 1 645 m above sea level and, its deepest, the lake is 262 m from its surface to bottom. Huvsgul shares many similarities in origin, flora and fauna with Russia’s Baikal lake, which lies 200 km to the east and is connected to Huvsgul by Egiin River. About a hundred rivers and streams pour into Huvsgul lake, but only the Egiin River exits the lake.

Everything had been just pretty much under control and well organized. All the people in the group were satisfied with the programs. We always got free bottle of water provided by our local agent, it was greatly appreciated. Our guide Bagi did a great job over the past 5 days. His command of English, knowledge of his own country, sense of humor helped us a lot in understanding every aspect of Mongolian culture and people’s lives.
