🌊 ABOUT KHUVSGUL LAKE

Khuvsgul Lake, often called the “Blue Pearl of Mongolia,” is the largest freshwater lake by volume in the country and holds over 70% of Mongolia’s fresh water. It stretches for over 136 km (85 miles) and is nestled at the base of the Sayan Mountains near the Russian border. This lake is sacred to locals and revered for its crystal-clear waters, diverse wildlife, and surrounding alpine meadows.


🐎 ABOUT MONGOLIAN HORSES

Mongolian horses are small but incredibly strong and hardy, well-suited for the varied terrain of the north. Raised in the wild, they are highly independent and have been companions to nomads for centuries. Riding them offers an authentic experience of Mongolia’s equestrian culture, often unchanged since the time of Genghis Khan.
