General presentation
Lac Khövsgöl et Khatgal
Immense freshwater lake bordered by taiga and mountains, the main great landscape of the north Mongolian.
To understand what Lake Khövsgöl and Khatgal is, you should look at Lake Khövsgöl, Khatgal and the national park of Lake Khövsgöl. These places give us a view of a territory marked by shores and lakes, forests, mountain reliefs and natural spaces and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

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.
Lake
Lac Khövsgöl
The lake contains a significant portion of the country's freshwater and stretches near the Russian border. Shore roads are limited and the wind can make crossing difficult.
Place indismissible
Khatgal
Khatgal is the main access village to the south of the lake, with port, camps and seasonal services. It serves as a practical base without replacing excursions to wilder shores.
Nature park
Parc national du lac Khövsgöl
The park protects taiga, peaks, reindeer, ibex and clear waters. Hiking and horse require a guide, solid insurance and equipment adapted to the cold. The weather, altitude and condition of the tracks must be checked before departure.
