General presentation
Vallée de Darkhad et Tsagaannuur
Isolated basin, lakes and Tsaata communities characterize the extreme north-west of Khövsgöl province.
To understand what Darkhad Valley and Tsagaannuur is, you must look at Darkhad Valley, Taïga Khövsgöl and the pastoral territories of dukha. These places give us a landscape marked by the countryside, the shores and lakes, the forests and the mountain reliefs and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Vallée de Darkhad
This vast wetland is punctuated with lakes, pastures and mountains close to the Siberian Taiga. The tracks are long, muddy and sometimes impassable without a experienced vehicle and driver. The weather, altitude and condition of the tracks must be checked before departure.
Place indismissible
Taïga de Khövsgöl
The mountain taiga houses mobile camps and a fragile environment. Any encounter must pass through responsible operators, pay precisely the inhabitants and avoid folklorization. A slow visit allows to go beyond the only points of view the best known.
Place indismissible
Territoires pastoraux dukha
The Dukha families move their camps with reindeer to the northern Taiga of Khövsgöl. All visits must be arranged with consent, fair remuneration and respect for privacy.
