🏞 ABOUT LAKE KHUVSGUL

Lake Khuvsgul is Mongolia’s largest and deepest freshwater lake, located in the far north near the Siberian border. It stretches 136 km long and 36 km wide, with a depth of 262 meters. Often referred to as the “Dark Blue Pearl,” it holds about 2% of the world’s fresh water and is surrounded by the majestic Khoridol Saridag Mountains. The lake is home to rare wildlife, including reindeer-herding Tsaatan people, and is a migratory haven for birds from Siberia. It freezes in winter, creating magical ice landscapes, and is a tranquil destination for nature lovers year-round.
