Tour description
On the furthest north of the country, there are famous travel destinations from Khuvsgul province. Lake Khuvsgul is Mongolia's biggest pristine fresh water lake and it is the sister lake to Baikal across the border in Siberia. The region is known as the Switzerland of Mongolia with high, ice-capped mountains, beautiful lakes and vast forests of pine and fir.
On the opposite side of KhoridolSaridag mountains, is the ‘Darkhad valley'. Travelling in the Darkhad valley to the Tsaatsan (reindeer herders) community on the north end of the valley will be an unforgettable experience. As to the nomadic part, you'll see Darkhad's famous white horses and yaks and the Tsaatan's reindeer herds. Be sure to ride reindeer while visiting Tsaatsans.
